via Kieren McCarthy – writing at El Reg – comes a bit of good news on a Wednesday in the glorious Pacific Northwest: Congress – just this morning, mind you – has passed the esteemed body’s new Anti-Robocall Act monikered the TRACED Act, and along with the Senate’s passing of Senate Bill 151 (sponsored by Senator John Thune [R-SD]) it’s just like A Bill On Capital Hill…

“The new law is likely to prove effective: it gives the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the power to fine companies up to $20,000 per robocall, and it obliges phone companies to verify the legitimacy of calls at no cost.” – via the inimitable Kieren McCarthy – writing at El Reg
