Stronger Rules to Stop Robocalls
On December 18, 2025, the FCC will consider strengthening rules so Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) providers must meet tougher requirements to keep direct access to telephone numbers. The change is aimed at protecting you from illegal robocalls and seeks comment on additional ways to protect numbering resources (see WC Docket Nos. 13-97, 07-243, and 20-67).
Regulatory Certainty for LPTV Stations
On December 18, 2025, the FCC will consider a Report and Order to amend rules for Low Power Television (LPTV), TV translator, and Class A stations to provide regulatory certainty and clarity reflecting industry changes (MB Docket No. 24-148). If you operate an LPTV or similar small broadcast station, these rule changes are intended to clarify your regulatory obligations.
