    In a new milestone for the US government's anti-robocall efforts,
    phone companies are now prohibited from accepting calls from providers
    that did not comply with a Federal Communications Commission deadline
    that passed this week. "Beginning today, if a voice service provider's certification and other required information does not appear in the
    FCC's Robocall Mitigation Database, intermediate providers and voice
    service providers will be prohibited from directly accepting that
    provider's traffic," the FCC said yesterday.
