FCC Signs Robocall Memorandum of Understanding With Singapore Agency

The FCC signed a memorandum of understanding Wednesday with Singapore's Infocomm Media Development Authority to "strengthen cross-border efforts to combat unsolicited and unlawful communications," the agencies announced Thursday. The agencies agreed to work together to "enhance cooperation in regulatory enforcement" of scams. "Robocall scams do not respect international borders and are a problem for consumers and businesses around the world," said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel: "It is critical that we work closely with partners like our colleagues in Singapore." IMDA Chief Executive Lew Chuen Hong said the agreement "builds on the strong ties" between Singapore and the U.S. in "working towards safeguarding our digital environment."
