FCC slaps harsher fines on telcos for ignoring robocall complaints from consumers nationwide

The Federal Communications Commission has finalized new penalties for telecom companies that fail to report robocall violations, aiming to curb scam calls and protect consumers from unwanted solicitations. The stricter enforcement policy targets carriers who ignore the required 60-day notice period for reporting automated calling systems. If found in violation, carriers could face significant fines, with some potential penalties reaching up to $56,000 per incident. The move is seen as a major step forward in combating robocalls and safeguarding consumers' rights.
