Additional Anti-Robocall Obligations

On August 6, 2021, the FCC adopted a "Further Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking" -

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-21-94A1.pdf

to consider additional anti-robocall requirements for interconnected
VoIP provider that seek direct access to telephone numbers. Among the
changes, the FCC proposes to require interconnected VoIP provider
seeking access to numbers to "certify that it will use numbering
resources lawfully; will not encourage nor assist and facilitate
illegal robocalls, illegal spoofing, or fraud; and will take
reasonable steps to cease origination, termination, and/or
transmission of illegal robocalls once discovered. "Comments on this
proposal will be due 30 days after publication of the FNPRM in
the/Federal Register/."
