FCC Eyes Stronger Rules to Combat Robocalls
Proposal could expand verification requirements for telecom providers.
WASHINGTON, April 10, 2026 – The Federal Communications Commission is preparing to consider new rules aimed at strengthening protections against illegal robocalls.
The proposal would expand “Know Your Customer,” or KYC, requirements for telecom providers, rules that require companies to collect and verify information about their customers before allowing them to originate calls on their networks.
“Cracking down on illegal robocalls will be a top priority at the FCC,” said FCC Chairman Brendan Carr, who described the effort as a way to close gaps that have allowed fraudulent calls to reach consumers.
