So many replies but few actually addressed steps the FCC indeed is taking. Eg; the implementation of STIR/SHAKEN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STIR/SHAKEN to prevent caller ID spoofing.

They switched it on years ago and nothing changed, I still get loads of spam calls.

Massive changes to international protocols aren't just "switched on".

Two years. No change. Maybe the last bits are clicking into place and it'll all get better any day now. Maybe. Or maybe the whole effort was scuppered with a well-placed caveat. I hope not, but that's what I'm starting to suspect.
