(CNN NEWSOURCE) The biggest tech, cable and telecom companies are moving to block robocalls.
Apple, Google, Microsoft, Comcast and Verizon are among dozens of companies participating in a "robocall strike force" meeting in Washington.
The group and the head of the FCC are working to provide customers more control over incoming calls.
Robocalls are currently the number one complaint the FCC receives from consumers.
Some robocalls break the law by ignoring the Do Not Call Registry or engaging in identity theft attempts.
Others, like calls from telemarketers, are perfectly legal, but unwanted.
There’s no solution yet, but the group is working on it.
