This is the correct answer, except it won’t be rolled out next year in any meaningful way.
The FCC created a broad exemption for providers that have taken other “reasonable steps” to reduce robocalls, which is self-certified. Providers and device manufacturers are complying with this requirement by allowing users to block known bad phone numbers and showing some special UI when an incoming call is authenticated.
