Don't Grant Foreign Providers 'Blanket Extension' for Robocall Database: ZipDX

Audio conference call provider ZipDX asked the FCC to "not grant a blanket extension" for foreign service providers that haven't registered in the robocall mitigation database. The request came in a letter posted Monday in docket 17-97 (see 2108040075). It said U.S.-based providers should seek an extension that applies to the requesting provider accepting calls from the foreign source listed in its request. "Rather than asking that the can be kicked further down the road, gateway providers accepting foreign traffic should be analyzing that traffic as of TODAY to ensure it meets the appropriate metrics," ZipDX said.
