AG Slatery Calls for Faster Implementation of Anti-Robocall Technology

Nashville-Attorney General Herbert H. Slatery III is urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to fight back against illegal robocalls by moving up the deadline for smaller telephone companies to implement caller ID technology.  Large companies were required to implement the technology by June 2021, and smaller phone companies were given an extension until June 2023.  The coalition of 51 attorneys general are asking the FCC to require these companies to implement the STIR/SHAKEN technology as soon as possible and no later than June 30, 2022.
