Podcast: Mutare and Nomorobo race to counter robocall plague, launch spam filter

According to Aaron Foss of Nomorobo, the telecoms establishment initially resisted the ideas of proactive filtering of robocalls. In this podcast we learn that Foss encountered some of the same thinking that led Bell to try to block third party devices over fifty years ago when ideas were being floated to aggressively counter spam. Having recently testified in front of Congress, Foss now finds himself at the center of highly sought-after technology as carriers struggle to help customers who are being impacted by robocalling, and many enterprises look beyond he carriers for a solution they can mount. Chuck French of Mutare discusses how he believes the way to counter the problem lies at the edge of the network instead of at the carrier level. Recorded over the holiday weekend, this podcast is being released just before Mutare’s spam filter officially becomes available on Monday, July 8. Many readers will recognize the Mutare brand and its long-term association with widely installed UC platforms. Visit www.mutare.com
