Aug. 25 (UPI) -- More than 1,000 "voice service providers" were effectively kicked off the U.S. phone network in America's ongoing fight with the illegal robocall industry.
The Federal Communications Commission said Monday that its enforcement bureau removed more than 1,200 non-compliant robocall providers off its "Robocall Mitigation Database" for violating FCC rules on proper certifications.
"Robocalls are an all-too-common frustration -- and threat -- to American households," stated FCC Chairman Brendan Carr.
Phone service providers are legally required to certify proper implementation of critical robocall-combatting tools in order to protect American consumers.
