The FCC plans a workshop June 19, 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m. EDT at its headquarters, to explore “the complex issues surrounding mobile device theft,” said an agency notice Tuesday. “Some observers believe the thefts of personal electronic devices are reaching epidemic proportions,” the FCC said (http://bit.ly/1jSwkuZ). “Police in major metropolitan areas across the United States report year-on-year increases ranging from six to as much as 23 percent, building on an already high base where an estimated 3.1 million devices were stolen in 2013, nearly double the 2012 amount.”
