FCC Shuts Down Robocall Middleman One Eye

The FCC’s statement does not specify the location of One Eye’s headquarters. The cease-and-desist letter addressed in February was sent to a registered LLC in Delaware, but it is possible that this entity represents a U.S. branch of a global operation based elsewhere.

The FCC’s block on One Eye carries significant weight due to the Gateway Provider Order issued in May 2022. This order established a new set of requirements for companies routing foreign calls to the United States. These requirements include caller ID authentication using the STIR/SHAKEN framework, submission of certification plans, timely response to traceback requests within 24 hours, and blocking illegal traffic upon notification by the FCC.
