FCC Move Against Robocalls Is Way Overdue. Ending 'Spoofing' Should Be Next. [telecom]

Some in the business community are decrying the Federal Communications Commission's recent decision to allow carriers to automatically block robocalls unless customers opt out, saying it will make it harder for them to hawk their services to people who haven't indicated they're interested in receiving a telephone sales pitch.



Yes, it will make it harder - that's the whole point. Robocalls are the scourge of the communications industry, blowing up Americans' phones almost 48 billion times last year alone by one estimate. The FCC move is way overdue.
