The following may be attributed to Tim McKone, AT&T Executive Vice President of Federal Relations:
“We applaud Chairman Pallone, Ranking Member Walden, Chairman Thune and Ranking Member Markey for putting consumers first and working together on targeted legislation to help combat robocalls. Fighting the scourge of robocalls is a constantly evolving challenge and we greatly appreciate the help and support from Senate and House leadership and staff as we continue to work daily to stop illegal and unwanted calls from reaching our customers and consumers everywhere.”
Sorry AT&T. Your position is hollow. You have the technology and ability to validate calls within your network to ensure the number is actually legitimate and not spoofed. You also have the technology allow consumer ‘whitelisting’ and call review.
You don’t because robocalls are big $$ to you.
