The nation's largest phone companies have met a federal deadline to
deploy a new anti-robocall technology, but unwanted calls and scams
will continue to be an annoying problem for Americans for the
foreseeable future.
Federal Communications Commission Acting Chairwoman Jessica
Rosenworcel announced Wednesday that "the largest voice service
providers are now using STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication standards
in their IP networks, in accordance with the [June 30] deadline set by
the FCC. This widespread implementation helps protect consumers
against malicious spoofed robocalls and helps law enforcement track
bad actors."
