The FCC has removed 185 voice service providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database, preventing them from connecting to U.S. networks until they achieve compliance. These providers lacked adequate certifications and ignored warnings about deficiencies. They engaged in illegal robocall activities or obstructed investigations into such activities. This disqualification stems from a previous order issued to over 2,400 providers, requiring them to fix their filings or justify their statuses. Stricter regulations for the database began in January, mandating detailed certifications from providers regarding robocall mitigation efforts.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) removed 185 voice service providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database this week. The providers will be unable to connect to U.S. networks until they are deemed compliant.
The voice service providers were found to have deficient certifications and did not heed warnings to address the shortcomings. They participated in illegal robocall campaigns or failed to support investigation efforts into the campaigns.
The FCC is engaged in a comprehensive effort to combat the scourge of illegal robocalls, including preventing providers from connecting to our networks if they fail to meet their regulatory obligations.
In January, the FCC implemented stricter requirements for the Robocall Mitigation Database, requiring voice service providers to file certifications showing their level of STIR/SHAKEN implementation.
