FCC Targets Chinese Telecom Giants in Robocall Mitigation Move

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is considering barring three Chinese telecom companies, China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom, from U.S. networks. This measure is part of an ongoing effort to mitigate robocalls. The FCC has requested the companies address issues with their certifications in its robocall mitigation database.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission signaled a potential crackdown on three major Chinese telecom firms: China Mobile, China Telecom, and China Unicom. This move is in response to efforts aimed at curbing the rampant robocall problem plaguing the nation.

The FCC has raised alarms regarding the compliance of these companies with the robocall mitigation requirements. Their current certification status in the agency's database is being scrutinized, implying their continued presence is under threat.

If the FCC opts to remove these companies from its robocall mitigation database, all U.S.-based intermediate and voice service providers would have to halt direct calls from these Chinese telecom giants. This decision underscores ongoing tensions between Washington and Beijing.
