FCC to introduce scorecard grading phone carriers on robocall blocking efforts

The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is planning to introduce a scorecard system to evaluate phone companies on their performance in blocking spam and robocalls. The scorecards are expected to include metrics such as call-blocking statistics and data gathered from customer complaints. The initiative aims to create greater accountability among carriers in tackling the persistent problem of unwanted calls. By grading phone companies publicly, the FCC hopes to incentivize better spam-call filtering across the industry.
