FCC TO HOST FIRST MEETING OF INDUSTRY-LED ROBOCALL STRIKE FORCE
Washington, D.C. – On August 19, 2016, the Federal Communications Commission will host the first

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.  Following a call to action
