Attorneys general from around the nation are asking phone companies to help customers block robocalls and unwanted telemarketers.
But not Mark Brnovich.
An aide to the Arizona attorney general said his boss agrees that the automated phone calls are annoying. And Ryan Anderson said if such a blocking service were offered, Brnovich probably would buy it.
Anderson said, though, that Brnovich does not believe it is the role of an attorney general to tell phone companies what services they should offer — even if 45 of his colleagues do not view the issue that way.
The letter to the five companies says that the attorneys general are “on the front lines” of consumer protection for millions of Americans harassed by unwanted and unwelcome robocalls.
