In its April 8, 2026 blog post titled “Hopping to It,” the FCC outlined its spring priorities for communications policy and enforcement. While the agenda spans spectrum, satellite services, and accessibility initiatives, a central focus is reinforcing trust in the voice network by addressing persistent gaps that allow illegal robocalls to originate and scale.
KYC Relevance
The FCC explicitly points to strengthened Know Your Customer (KYC) obligations for originating providers as a necessary step in curbing unlawful and fraudulent calls.
By emphasizing clearer expectations around customer identity verification and accountability, the Commission signals growing scrutiny of how providers onboard and monitor customers with the ability to inject traffic into the public switched telephone network. This renewed focus underscores the FCC’s view that weak or inconsistent KYC practices remain a foundational enabler of large scale robocall campaigns.
