FCC To Hold Robocall Workshop Sept. 16

The FCC Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau will host a robocall and caller ID spoofing workshop Sept. 16, the agency said Tuesday. The workshop builds on the FCC’s June declaratory ruling on implementation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which includes a provision allowing carriers to help consumers curb unwanted robocalls (see 1506180046). “The workshop will continue the Commission’s recent work helping consumers fight unwanted robocalls by examining the current state of robocall-blocking solutions, steps industry is taking to protect consumers from unwanted robocalls, and potential solutions to caller ID spoofing,” the FCC said. The all-day workshop will take place at FCC headquarters. Other details will follow.
