Are telephone network providers regulated by being common carriers which disallows them to unpeer from the shady networks? Robocallers are not using AT&T or Verizon, I imagine.
- placatedmayhem 3y agoI believe (but could be wrong) that common carriers are still allowed to discontinue service from abusive users, and unsolicited robocallers have been classified as abusive.
- JCharante 3y agoBut what about negligent peers? My understanding is that there is still a carrier passing on this robot traffic that peers with all other carriers, so discontinuing service from certain users isn't enough (because of the fly by night operations), the carriers need to ban their peers who aren't policing their users enough.
