FCC TO HOST ANOTHER MEETING OF INDUSTRY-LED ROBOCALL STRIKE 
FORCE
Washington, D.C. – The Federal Communications Commission will host another meeting of the 
Robocall Strike Force on Wednesday, October 26, 2016 from 1-2 p.m. in the Commission 
Meeting Room, located at 445 12
th
Street, SW, Washington, DC 20554.  The event will be open 
to the public.  We anticipate remarks from Chairman Wheeler, Commissioners Clyburn, 
Rosenworcel, Pai, and O’Rielly, and AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson, the Chair of the Robocall 
Strike Force.
The Robocall Strike Force is an industry-led group which has been working for two months to 
develop comprehensive solutions to prevent, detect, and filter unwanted robocalls.  Robocalls 
and telemarketing calls are the number one source of consumer complaints received by the FCC.  
However, giving consumers meaningful control over the calls and texts they receive requires 
collective action by the industry.  
Industry leaders moved to form the Strike Force in response to a call to action by FCC Chairman 
Tom Wheeler directing industry to develop an action plan to address consumer concerns with 
robocalls and deploy anti-robocall solutions within 60 days.  The FCC hosted a meeting to kick 
off the Strike Force’s work on August 19, 2016.  The Strike Force will report to the Commission 
on its proposed action plan at the October 26 meeting.
