WASHINGTON, June 15, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission has ordered U.S. voice providers to stop carrying traffic from SK Teleco.
The FCC’s Enforcement Bureau said in a release Friday it was removing the Missoula, Mont.-based voice service provider from the agency’s Robocall Mitigation Database, a step that effectively cuts off a provider’s ability to exchange traffic with other U.S. voice networks. The removal comes after SK Teleco failed to respond to investigations into suspected illegal robocalls.
The court preserved the agency’s power to issue fines, but said those forfeiture orders were nonbinding.
The plan comes as lawmakers press Hochul to pause large data centers and keep their power costs off ratepayers.
