Overview

• The FCC removed over 1,200 non-compliant providers from the Robocall Mitigation Database, effectively blocking their traffic on the U.S. phone network.
• Today’s action follows a December 2024 order to 2,411 companies to fix deficient filings and an August 6 preliminary removal of 185 providers.
• Providers must certify STIR/SHAKEN on all IP-based network segments and file mitigation plans, while older non‑IP infrastructure remains a vulnerability.
• State attorneys general launched Operation Robocall Roundup with warning letters to 37 providers, and the FTC has contacted 31 VoIP firms tied to hundreds of campaigns.
• Despite roughly $250 million invested in STIR/SHAKEN since 2020 and continued enforcement, the FTC logged over 2 million unwanted-call complaints in FY2024 and many illegal calls originate overseas.
