During its May open meeting, the Federal Communications Commission
considered a Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
and Notice of Inquiry that would expand call-blocking requirements,
enlist service providers in the fight against unwanted robocalls, and
seek comment on several other options to further enhance consumer
protections.

According to the Commission, "[u]nwanted call complaints continue to
be far-and-away the largest category of consumer complaints to the
FCC, with approximately 157,000 in 2020, 164,000 in 2021, [and]
119,000 in 2022." Last year, U.S. consumers reported a total of $798
million lost to fraud via phone call.
