The Backstory: Nobody likes robocalls
What They Did:
According to North Carolina Attorney General Joshua H. Stein, telephone companies will work to prevent illegal robocalls by:
- Implementing call-blocking technology at the network level at no cost to customers;
- Making available to customers additional, free, easy-to-use call blocking and labeling tools;
- Implementing call authentication technology to ensure that callers are coming from a valid source; and
- Monitoring their networks for robocalls.
