The FCC is proposing stricter Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules for originating voice service providers to block illegal robocalls before they enter networks and protect consumers. The proposal would expand data collection, verification, monitoring, retention, and introduce per-call fines in response to enforcement gaps highlighted by cases involving Voxbeam and Axfone. #Voxbeam #Axfone
