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 nuisance calls from telemarketers and scammers.
Allowing the default call-blocking could significantly increase development and consumer adoption of the tools, Pai said, adding that providers should offer call blocking services for free. In addition, companies could allow users to block calls not on their contact lists, Pai said. Not all automated calls are illegal. Some are from school districts, utilities, pharmacies or cities.Verizon Communications Inc praised the FCC for “taking aggressive action and exploring new tools to protect consumers.”
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.
