FCC robocall scorecard plan

Ars Technica •
×

The FCC proposes a robocall mitigation scorecard to rate phone providers on blocking illegal calls. The tool would grade carriers using call-blocking stats and consumer complaints, possibly with letter grades or risk categories. The agency seeks public comment on data sources, aiming to empower consumers and push providers to improve.

Critics like PIRG's Teresa Murray welcome the idea but stress the need for accurate, useful information, noting that switching providers isn't always easy.
