When ? Cant come too fast !!!

The Federal Communications Commission on Thursday approved new rules that could make it easier for AT&T, Verizon and other telecom giants to block suspected spam calls on behalf of their subscribers, a move meant to crack down on the ever-worsening scourge a month after robocallers rang Americans’ phones nearly 5 billion times.
Under the order, telecom carriers now have a legal green-light to enroll consumers in their call-blocking services by default, as opposed to waiting for customers to sign up for such tools on their own. The change would “make it easier for consumers” to get robocall relief, said FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, noting that many people often are unaware such technology exists in the first place.
“There is one thing in our country that unites Republicans and Democrats,” Pai said. “They are sick and tired of being bothered by unwanted robocalls.”
Pai’s proposal cleared the commission with bipartisan support, but not without some reservations from Democratic Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel, who expressed concern that the agency did not require AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile to offer their call-blocking services for free. The omission could lead to higher prices on subscribers’ monthly wireless bills, she warned.

lol, I had one last night around then as well.... Same # had called earlier, it came up likely scam, I refused the call & added it to block #........ Ones I hate are the ones that go to voice mail..
Earlier today I had one call me while sitting in the dentist office.. Went directly to voice mail & listen to it while walking out it is some kinda threat, arrest warrant out for me from the Acc or something like that...... I guess you call 10,000, some fool will call them back.

I think we should remove anonymity from all business phones and all private lines. All numbers issued must be verified by the phone company providing the service. Period.
