OVER 2,400 VOICE SERVICE PROVIDERS FACE REMOVAL FOR FAILING TO COMPLY
WITH THE ROBOCALL MITIGATION DATABASE FILING REQUIREMENTS 
FCC to Also Consider Stricter Filing Requirements to Increase Awareness
of Robocall Mitigation Responsibilities

WASHINGTON, December 10, 2024—The Federal Communications Commission
  today announced new enforcement and rulemaking actions to stop bad
  actors from facilitating nuisance and illegal robocalls.  The FCC’s
  Enforcement Bureau announced that 2,411 voice service providers failed
  to properly file in the Robocall Mitigation Database and must show
  cause why they should not be removed.  Removal from the database means
  other providers will be prohibited from accepting call traffic from
  these providers.  Also today, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel
  proposed new rules to further tighten filing requirements for the
  Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) to better ensure widespread
  compliance and heightened awareness of provider responsibilities to
  protect consumers.  

  All voice service providers must file certification in the Robocall
  Mitigation Database to demonstrate their level of STIR/SHAKEN
  implementation, describe their robocall mitigation plans, and provide
  other required information the Commission uses to monitor compliance
  with our rules.  Participation in U.S. phone networks comes with a
  responsibility to actively mitigate the risk of scam traffic reaching
  consumers.

Personal anecdote: in the last month, 0 calls have come through for me
that 

(a) were not already in my contacts and
(b) were not robocalls
