I'm also not terribly convinced that the earlier rules would help against the current spate of robocalls

The reason we're seeing so many robocalls now is because we currently have a consumer unfriendly FCC. Repealing those laws only made the people doing the robo calling more brazen.

The number of robocalls I'm getting is consistent over the last five years. Maybe I'm just special. I'm also not convinced that any law will fix this - it requires the carriers to agree to change the entry points into the PSTN.

This is just a conclusion plus adverbs.
