FCC Takes Action Against Illegal Robocallers
The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has issued its first-ever "roboblocking order" to cut off calls coming into the country by One Eye, a gateway provider that funnels international traffic to US operators. One Eye was a "successor entity" to a company called PZ/Illum Telecommunication, which had shut down after the FCC's Enforcement Bureau sent it a cease-and-desist order in October 2021 to stop illegal robocalls. The FCC had given One Eye multiple opportunities to stop facilitating illegal robocalls before ordering US phone operators to block its traffic.
