FCC considers scorecard grading U.S. carriers on illegal spam call blocking
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission is moving to introduce a scorecard to assess telecom companies\' performance in blocking illegal spam calls. The plan would evaluate not only whether carriers followed related rules but also how many illegal robocalls they actually stopped. The FCC has begun soliciting public comment on metrics and display methods, including numeric scores, A to F grades and risk categories, while considering data sources and how to reflect reliability and carrier size.
