FCC Robocall Strike Force On October 26, 2016, the Industry Robocall Strike Force issued a report describing progress made during the first sixty days and outlining a process for continuing the work necessary to develop an industry solution to the robocall problem. The industry committed to continue to work together and to issue another status report in six months. ACT, ATIS, CTIA and USTelecom, who count among their members many Strike Force members, agreed to facilitate that process and work together toward long term goals. Many industry leaders in robocall mitigation have concluded that there is no “silver bullet” to solve the problem. However, to mitigate the problem of illegal robocalls, the industry is implementing a diverse multitude of evolving mitigation tools and efforts so that it becomes too costly for illegal robocalling campaigns to overcome the industry’s dynamic mitigation techniques. The organizations focused on continuing work in the same areas identified by the Industry Strike Force during the first sixty days: - Authentication -Empowering Consumer Choice - Detection, Assessment, Traceback and Mitigation -Regulatory Support PACE WASHINGTON SUMMIT | SEPTEMBER 17-19, 2017 | #17PACE
