[FCC press release]
FCC PLANS TO REMOVE COMPANIES FROM KEY DATABASE FOR
Companies Removed from Robocall Mitigation Database Can No Longer
Hand Off Call Traffic to Other Networks
Washington, October 3, 2022 - The FCC's Robocall Response Team today announced first-of-their-kind Enforcement Bureau orders to begin removing seven voice service providers from the agency's Robocall Mitigation Database. Providers must take key robocall mitigation steps - including implementing STIR/SHAKEN throughout their IP networks - and if they fail to demonstrate that they have met these requirements, they can be removed from the database and other networks will no longer take their traffic...

************************** Moderator's Note **************************
I and other T-D regulars were interviewed by the FTC a few years ago,
when they were looking for a way to block robocalls via technical
means.
I told them it couldn't be done: they most CLECs are looking for every
spare penny they can find, and anyone offerng large volumes of traffic
and able to pay cash would always find a backwoods CLEC willing to
take it from VoIP trunks and put it into the PSTN.
I also told them that the problem would remain until real, and
substantial, penalties were imposed for doing it. At least until the
election, Uncle Sam is starting to listen.
