The interviewee discusses why robocalls weren't reduced decades ago.
Well, regulations are really, really tough for a couple of reasons. One is, it’s a bureaucratic, slow-moving process.
There's also this notion of regulatory capture. At the FCC, the loudest voices come from the telecommunications operators. There’s an imbalance in the control that the consumer ultimately has over who gets to invade their telephone versus these other interests.
The regulatory capture of the FCC has been discussed for 20 years - just not by major news orgs (or telco industry press, or most tech press).
