Remarks Of FCC Chief Of Staff Matthew Berry At The Joint FCC-FTC Stop Illegal Robocalls Expo

[Speech] I know that today’s Expo is specifically focused on technological solutions to the robocall challenge. But if there’s an overarching theme, it’s the need for collaborative solutions. Thanks in large part to technology that makes it incredibly easy and cheap to make large numbers of spoofed robocalls, this is a difficult problem to solve, and everyone needs to play their part in getting the job done. That's why it’s important that Congress is actively engaged. That’s why it’s important that the Federal Communications Commission and Federal Trade Commission are working together. That’s why it’s important that the private sector is coming up with new ways to combat unwanted and unlawful robocalls. And that’s why it’s important for the American people to learn about the options that are available to them right now to reduce the number of robocalls they receive.
