The FCC says the company, which serves as an “on-ramp” to US phone networks from outside the country, enabled robocall scams like impersonating a major financial institution and calls about bogus “preauthorized orders” placed in consumers’ names. The Biden administration’s FCC has focused on increasing its ability to enforce robocalls. “This company — what’s left of it — will now have a place in robocall history,” said FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. “We can and will continue to shut off providers that help scammers.” https://www.engadget.com/fcc-blocks-robocall-middleman-one-eye-from-future-campaigns-211509369.html

The telecommunications company, which has operations in all 50 states, will consolidate into nine core offices — including in San Ramon's Bishop Ranch — with two main hubs in Dallas and Atlanta. The return-to-office mandate will be implemented everywhere by Sept. 4 and will apply to more than 60,000 managers. https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2023/05/17/sfbt-digest-wednesday-roffler-att-office-mandate.html -- (Please remove QRM for direct replies)
