Enhanced Protection Against Robocalls: New Rules to Combat Unwanted Calls.
New regulations make it easier to track and penalize those responsible for unwanted phone calls (robocalls). Telecommunication companies will be able to safely exchange information about suspicious calls, which should help identify them. Additionally, a list of companies that do not cooperate in the fight against robocalls may be publicly available, increasing pressure on phone service providers.
Key points
Telecommunication companies gain legal protection when sharing data on suspicious robocalls, facilitating their tracing.
The consortium tracing robocalls will be able to publish information about companies that do not cooperate in combating unwanted calls.
The Commission can take enforcement action against companies that originate or route a substantial amount of unlawful robocalls.
