FCC Staff Acts Against Alleged Robocaller

The FCC's robocall response team notified voice service providers it may block and stop accepting traffic from One Owl Telecom if the company fails to mitigate illegal traffic identified by the commission. The international gateway provider was found to have a "multitude of interconnections" with Illum Telecom and One Eye after the commission mandated blocking of One Eye's traffic, per a Tuesday news release (see 2305110030). The Enforcement Bureau issued a cease-and-desist letter to One Owl after an investigation found prerecorded calls were made to "engage with consumers under the guise of fictitious purchase orders."
