Law360 reports telecoms are facing FCC call blocking action tied to robocall compliance. State attorneys general used the NAAG Robocall Summit to lay out know-your-customer proposals aimed at the whole call path, and a two-year-old TCPA class action against a pest control company just cleared the pleadings stage.

Law360 reported that telecoms are facing FCC call blocking measures tied to robocall compliance obligations.
Why it matters: If carriers face blocking for compliance failures, calls placed through non-compliant paths risk getting blocked before they reach a prospect. Businesses that rely on voice outreach should confirm their provider's compliance standing.

On August 19 and 20, representatives of state AG offices met at the 2026 NAAG Robocall Summit. After closed government-only sessions, panels including telecom industry reps, a consumer advocacy nonprofit, AG offices and the FCC discussed initiatives to reduce illegal robocalls. Panelists covered Know-Your-Customer and Know-Your-Upstream-Provider standards, including FCC proposals for more prescriptive customer identity verification and ongoing due diligence before and during service. Shortly before the summit, 50 state AGs submitted comments in that FCC rulemaking.
Why it matters: More prescriptive KYC and KYUP verification requirements for voice providers mean businesses that buy calling or messaging services may face more identity checks from their carriers. Providers that fail due diligence standards could lose the ability to originate traffic.

In Bell v. Hawx Services, LLC, 2026 WL 2389324 (E.D. Cal. Aug. 17, 2026), a TCPA class action over unwanted pest control calls just passed the pleadings stage more than two years after it was filed. The defendant argued it was not responsible for the calls at issue.
Why it matters: The case shows TCPA class actions in the Eastern District of California can take years to resolve, so businesses facing a claim should expect prolonged exposure and legal cost rather than a quick dismissal, even when they dispute responsibility for the calls.
