FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION:  "Robocall Challenge"

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announces a prize competition 
that challenges the public to create innovative solutions to block 
illegal robocalls.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FTC Robocall Challenge is an initiative of 
the Federal Trade Commission challenging the public to create innovative

Competition is intended to provide recognition to "Contestants" for 
developing proposed technical solutions or functional solutions and 
proofs of concepts that can block illegal robocalls ..
