The new rule would make it easier for carriers, like AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile, to automatically register their customers for call-blocking technology. As of right now, customers have to opt-in on their own. It would also allow customers to block calls coming from phone numbers that are not on their contacts list. Commissioners are expected to vote on the measure at their June 6th meeting.

Sounds like “it’s about time”.

I love how Gooferment always arrive late to the party and then claims to lead!

I’d like an option that non-contact calls get route to voice mail automagically.
