Internet Day 2023 Session with iconectiv’s Alberto Apablaza Addressed Ways to Fight Spammers and Boost Consumer Trust in the Communications Ecosystem

BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--iconectiv:

What:		Phone spam continues to plague consumers around the world, eroding their trust in the communications ecosystem. In fact, consumers globally were inundated with more than 655 million spam calls in the last few months of 2022 alone, many of those calls coming from fraudsters. The problem is so prevalent that 95% of people only answer a call when they recognize the number.

		The issue is worse in Argentina, where 52% of calls from unknown numbers are spam and 22% of calls are fraudulent. This also makes it difficult for businesses and call centers to get their legitimate calls through to consumers.

		During an Internet Day 2023 panel discussion, iconectiv’s Alberto Apablaza discussed ways the trusted communications ecosystem can address spam calls and other issues, including: The state of fixed and mobile number porting Streamlining processes around emergency numbers Network security
