(4) A provider may block voice calls or cease to accept traffic from an 
originating or intermediate provider

without liability under the Communications Act or the Commission's rules 
where the originating or intermediate provider

when notified by the Commission, fails to effectively mitigate illegal 
traffic within 48 hours or fails to implement effective measures to 
prevent new and renewing customers

from using its network to originate illegal calls. Prior to initiating 
blocking, the provider shall provide the Commission with notice and a 
brief summary of the basis for its determination that the originating or 
intermediate provider 
<https://www.law.cornell.edu/definitions/index.php?width=840&height=800&iframe=true&def_id=643618fc7955a6798d0c07a136e40fef&term_occur=999&term_src=Title:47:Chapter:I:Subchapter:B:Part:64:Subpart:L:64.1200> 
meets one or more of these two conditions for blocking.

ie: "You're not really a phone company anymore, says the rest of the PSTN"
