FCC might require carriers to block robocalls by default

RAJUPILLAY2197

[br] [br][br]FCC chairman Ajit Pai is preparing a new set of anti-robocalling measures that the commission will vote on during its next public meeting on June 6. The ruling would compel carriers to make automatic call blocking an opt-out feature for customers rather than an opt-in feature. Pai has a couple of suggestions for filtering methods including one based off the customer's own contacts list on their phone.[br][br][br]Widely speaking, the chairman talks about filters derived from "analytics and consumer 'white lists.'" Call blocking apps from third-party developers already use existing data to place numbers on certain lists. More aggressive filtering, such as a contacts list-based system, would remain opt-in, though. Beyond that suggestion, consumer white lists can take on other forms.[br][br]Pai is also encouraging voice service providers to also adopt STIR/SHAKEN standards — in which sending and receiving carriers conduct checks on callers' and certify that their numbers aren't spoofed. In a blog post, he mentioned that carriers wanted legal assurances in deploying such technologies, so he would also propose safe harbor exemptions for those companies if in case a robocall fails to filter out by the STIR/SHAKEN process.[br][br]AT&T, Comcast, and Sprint are working to deploy STIR/SHAKEN by later this year. T-Mobile implemented the standards in January while Verizon turned them on in March.[br][br][br]The chairman's rules do not force telcos to offer these services for free, though he does urge them to do so.[br][br][br]#Infinix_India.....
