All 50 State AGs Unite for Robocall Task Force

Article Comments

The state Attorneys General for North Carolina, Indiana, and Ohio are leading a new "Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force" consisting of all 50 state Attorneys General. This bipartisan nationwide task force is focused on the "gateway providers and other entities that are allegedly responsible for a majority of foreign robocall traffic." The task force has already issued civil investigative demands to 20 such entities. "Gateway providers that bring foreign traffic into the U.S. telephone network have a responsibility to ensure the traffic is legal, but these providers are not taking sufficient action to stop robocall traffic. In many cases, they appear to be intentionally turning a blind eye in return for steady revenue. The task force will focus on the bad actors throughout the telecommunications industry".
