Regulators call time on nuisance callers

摘要

Companies that bombard people with nuisance calls and text messages are to face the wrath of a new taskforce aimed at shutting them down for good. The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) and communications regulator Ofcom will work together to track down and stop nuisance calls while carrying out an assessment of the systems that are supposed to protect people from receiving them. A recent survey by Ofcom revealed that 84 per cent of people with landlines received unwanted calls.
