FCC Permits US Phone Carriers <br />to Halt Robocalls Following a recent vote, the agency is letting <br />wireless companies shield customers from the unwanted calls. Recent reports show that on a monthly basis, <br />five billion robocalls are being made in the U.S. The tech is similar to how spam is detected by email providers on the internet. FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, <br />via CNN Pai adds that customers who previously weren't aware that <br />they could get robocall detection will also now be protected. Some FCC members are still concerned that carriers <br />could end up charging customers for these features. FCC's Jessica Rosenworcel, <br />via CNN
