The FCC has not yet finalized whether to adopt the new standards, but the move is expected to boost competition among carriers. The FCC should now decide whether to approve or deny the new standard.

"We are hopeful that the FCC will follow through with it and follow through with the existing rules in the wake of the recent mass phone and internet shutdowns and other consumer-oriented regulatory efforts that have been happening to our wireless customers on and off the grid," Pai told reporters in August. "The FCC's new standards are an important step forward for industry and for consumers, for wireless companies and for all consumers. The FCC is committed now to addressing the long-term challenges facing our wireless customers, and to delivering on the promise of net neutrality. We are committed to building a strong wireless ecosystem to support our customers and to provide services based on their strengths, and we will continue to be proactive with our customers and in implementing the new standards.

The FCC's rules would allow the commission to block some or all of the nation's worst mass-market telephony companies, including T-Mobile and Sprint, while allowing Sprint to provide services to only those carriers that are "committed to net neutrality and responsible for ensuring that all internet service must remain open to all consumers and for the best possible results and for the highest possible prices." The FCC also does not want to allow AT&T and Verizon to block some or all of the nation's largest wireless carriers, such as T-Mobile, including AT&T, T-Mobile US, T-Mobile Canada, and T-Mobile U.

This is the first time that the FCC has approved a nationwide robocall ban in two years.

The new system will enable a greater number of carriers to block robocalls while allowing them to offer more competitive service. The FCC will be working with other wireless carriers to implement the new system, which will be rolled out to all of their customers in the near future.

"The new system provides a new way for carriers to make sure that their customers have access to the best customer-focused online services," Pai told Business Insider today. "Under the SHR system, carriers will no longer be able to block or block individual customers. This approach is the fundamental principle of net neutrality, and it's a fundamental principle for the 21st century."

The FCC's rules would be the latest in a series of changes to the standard, which is currently being challenged by a range of industries, including telecommunications companies, financial services companies, healthcare providers, and
