    During its May open meeting, the Federal Communications Commission
    considered a Report and Order, Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking,
    and Notice of Inquiry that would expand call-blocking requirements,
    enlist service providers in the fight against unwanted robocalls, and
    seek comment on several other options to further enhance consumer
    protections.

    According to the Commission, "[u]nwanted call complaints continue to
    be far-and-away the largest category of consumer complaints to the
    FCC, with approximately 157,000 in 2020, 164,000 in 2021, [and]
    119,000 in 2022." Last year, U.S. consumers reported a total of $798
    million lost to fraud via phone call.
