WASHINGTON - U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai on Wednesday proposed allowing phone companies to block unwanted “robocalls” by default in a bid to reduce the flood of unwanted calls.
Allowing the default call-blocking could significantly increase development and consumer adoption of the tools, Pai said. Pai and the other four FCC commissioners are set to testify later on Wednesday before a U.S. House panel amid frustration in Congress and among U.S. consumers over the flood of robocalls.
In May 2018, Pai called on companies to adopt an industry-developed “call authentication system” aimed at ending the use of illegitimate spoofed numbers from the telephone system.
Yeppieeee!!!
Finally, a good idea out of Washington.
