“This is a new era. If a provider doesn’t meet its obligations under
the law, it now faces expulsion from America’s phone networks. Fines
alone aren’t enough,” FCC chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel said in a
statement accompanying the announcement. “Providers that don’t follow
our rules and make it easy to scam consumers will now face swift
consequences.”
It’s the first such enforcement action by the agency to reduce the
growing problem of robocalls since call ID verification protocols
known as “STIR/SHAKEN” went fully into effect this summer.
