FORFEITURE ORDER
Adopted:  May 3, 2013                        Released:   May 7, 2013
By the Commission: Commissioner McDowell not participating.
I. INTRODUCTION
1. In this Forfeiture Order (Order), we issue a monetary forfeiture for $978,500 against 
Patrick Keane a/k/a Street Map, et.al., for willful and repeated violations of Section 227(b)(1)(C) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended (Act),
1
and Section 64.1200(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules,
2
by delivering 100 unsolicited advertisements, or “junk faxes,” to the telephone facsimile machines of 90
consumers.    
II. BACKGROUND
2. Congress enacted the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 to address problems 
of abusive telemarketing, including junk faxes.
3
  Unsolicited faxes often impose unwanted burdens on the 
called party, including costs of paper and ink, while making fax machines unavailable for legitimate 
messages.  Section 227 of the Act makes it “unlawful for any person within the United States, or any 
person outside the United States if the recipient is within the United States . . . to use any telephone 
facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send, to a telephone facsimile machine, an unsolicited 
advertisement . . . .”

47 U.S.C. §§ 227(b)(1); 227(b)(1)(C).  The prohibition is subject to certain exceptions.  For example, a person may 
fax an unsolicited advertisement if that person has an “established business relationship” (EBR) with the recipient, 
and the sender obtained the facsimile number from the recipient through voluntary communications in the context of

3. Pursuant to Section 503(b)(5) of the Act,
5
the Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) issued a junk 
fax citation
6
to The Street Map Company (Street Map) and Mr. Keane on February 5, 2008, in response to 
consumer complaints alleging that Street Map had faxed unsolicited advertisements.  The Bureau did not 
receive any response to this citation. 
4. Thereafter, from December 2009 through September 2012, the Commission received 
numerous additional complaints from consumers alleging that Street Map had faxed them unsolicited 
advertisements.  Based on these violations, which occurred after the Bureau’s citation, the Commission 
issued three Notices of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture
7
against Street Map and Mr. Keane.  The 
Commission issued the first NAL on November 10, 2010 for $55,000, another on June 1, 2011 for
$315,500, and the third on October 23, 2012 for of $608,000.
8
The NALs were served on Street Map to 
the attention of Mr. Keane or directly to Mr. Keane and gave Mr. Keane 30 days to pay each proposed 
forfeiture or file a written statement seeking a reduction or cancellation.
9
  Although the Bureau confirmed 
through certified mail that the respondents received the NALs, the forfeitures have not been paid, and the 
Commission has not received any responsive pleading.
10
III. DISCUSSION   
5. Section 503(b)(2)(D) authorizes the Commission to assess a maximum forfeiture of 
$16,000 per violation against an entity such as Patrick Keane a/k/a Street Map, et.al.
11
  In exercising such 
                                                          
(Continued from previous page)
an EBR, or from a directory, advertisement, or website through which the recipient voluntary agreed to make its 
facsimile number available for public distribution.  In addition, the unsolicited ad must notify the recipient how to 
opt out of receiving future such ads, subject to certain requirements.  Id.  The Commission has adopted 
implementing rules.  See 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(4).

Citation from Kurt A. Schroeder, Deputy Chief, Telecommunications Consumers Division, FCC Enforcement 
Bureau, to The Street Map Company (Feb. 5, 2008) (on file in EB-12-TCD-00000305).  The citation was addressed 
to “The Street Map Company” and directed to the attention of Mr. Keane, and expressly warned that future 
violations of the Act and the Commission’s rules governing telephone solicitations and unsolicited advertisements 
“may subject you and your company to monetary forfeitures.”

The Street Map Company, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 25 FCC Rcd 16371 (2010) (NAL 1); The 
Street Map Company, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 26 FCC Rcd 8318 (2011) (NAL 2); Patrick Keane 
a/k/a Street Map et. al., Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 27 FCC Rcd 13757 (2012) (NAL 3) (collectively 
NALs).  
8
We directed the first two NALs to “The Street Map Company,” the name listed as the sender of the faxes in the 
complaints.  We defined this to include Patrick Keane, and thus by reference averred his personal liability for the 
actions of Street Map.  See NAL 1, 25 FCC Rcd at 16371 n.1; NAL 2, 26 FCC Rcd at 8318 n.1.  In NAL 3, we noted 
that Mr. Keane had apparently used a variety of different business names on the junk faxes in later complaints, 
names that were neither actual companies nor registered trade names.  27 FCC Rcd. at 13759, para. 6.  We 
accordingly directed NAL 3 to Mr. Keane personally.      
9
See NAL 1, 25 FCC Rcd at 16373 para. 9; NAL 2, 26 FCC Rcd at 8323, para. 14; NAL 3, 27 FCC Rcd at 13763,
para. 16. 
10
To ensure that Mr. Keane had clear notice of the NALs and an opportunity to respond, Bureau staff sent him 
copies of both NAL 1 and NAL 2 a second time, on October 21, 2011, and allowed additional time for any response.  
The Bureau also sent copies of NAL 3 to four separate addresses associated with Mr. Keane, all by first class and 
certified mail.  Again, Mr. Keane did not pay the proposed forfeiture or respond to the NALs. 
11
47 U.S.C. § 503(b)(2)(D).  Section 503(b)(2)(D) provides for forfeitures of up to $10,000 for each in cases where 
the violation does not involve a Commission licensee or common carriers, among others.  See 47 U.S.C. 
§ 503(b)(2)(C).  In accordance with the inflation adjustment requirements contained in the Debt Collection 
Improvement Act of 1996, Pub. L. No. 104-134, Sec. 31001, 110 Stat. 1321, the Commission increased the

authority, the Commission must consider “the nature, circumstances, extent, and gravity of the violation 
and, with respect to the violator, the degree of culpability, any history of prior offenses, ability to pay, and 
such other matters as justice may require.”
12
  
6. We find that, for the reasons explained in the NALs, Patrick Keane a/k/a Street Map, 
et.al., willfully and repeatedly violated Section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act
13
and Section 64.1200(a)(4) of the 
Commission’s rules,
14
by delivering 100 junk faxes to the telephone facsimile machines of 90 consumers.  
Because Mr. Keane, operating as The Street Map Co., et.al., failed to answer any of our three NALs, we 
are not aware of any mitigating circumstances to warrant a cancellation or reduction of the forfeiture 
penalty.  In imposing the penalty, we emphasize that it attaches to Mr. Keane individually as well as to
Street Map, and any other name through which he does business.
15
7. Because we have no evidence to suggest that the proposed forfeitures should be reduced 
or cancelled, we hereby impose a total forfeiture of $978,500 against Mr. Keane operating as The Street 
Map Co., et.al., for willful and repeated violations of Section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Act and Section 
64.1200(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules, as set forth in the NALs.
IV. ORDERING CLAUSES
8. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 503(b) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. § 503(b), and Section 1.80(f)(4) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. 
§ 1.80(f)(4), that Patrick Keane operating as The Street Map Co., et.al. IS LIABLE FOR A 
MONETARY FORFEITURE to the United States Government in the sum of $978,500 for willfully and 
repeatedly violating Section 227(b)(1)(C) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227(b)(1)(C), and 
Section 64.1200(a)(4) of the Commission’s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200(a)(4).
9. Payment of the forfeiture shall be made in the manner provided for in Section 1.80 of the 
Commission’s rules within thirty (30) calendar days of the release of this Order.  If the forfeiture is not 
paid within the period specified, the case may be referred to the Department of Justice for enforcement
pursuant to Section 504(a) of the Act, 47 U.S.C. § 504(a).  Patrick Keane individually or together with 
The Street Map Company shall send electronic notification to Johnny.Drake@fcc.gov , 
Daniel.Grosh@fcc.gov and Phillip.Priesman@fcc.gov on the date said payment is made.   
10. The payment must be made by check or similar instrument, wire transfer, or credit card, 
and must include the NAL/Account number and FRN referenced above.  Regardless of the form of 
payment, a completed FCC Form 159 (Remittance Advice) must be submitted.

maximum statutory forfeiture under Section 503(b)(2)(C) to $16,000.  See 47 C.F.R. §1.80(b)(7); see also
Amendment of Section 1.80(b) of the Commission’s Rules, Adjustment of Forfeiture Maxima to Reflect Inflation,

“The Street Map Company” may only be a name used by Mr. Keane to conduct business and not an actual legal 
entity.  Based on staff research, it appears that Mr. Keane carries out the same business as “The Street Map 
Company” through a host of other names, including but not limited to, Accurate Map Co., Data World, Map World, 
Thomas Map Co., and Trump Map Co.  According to the Delaware Department of State, Division of Corporations, 
he also appears to have organized the limited liability company “Rockford Map Gallery LLC” in 2005.
