    Industry Traceback GroupITG

    The FCC-designated consortium that coordinates traceback investigations of suspected illegal robocall campaigns across carriers.

    Operated by USTelecom, the ITG is the officially registered traceback consortium. It sends traceback requests to providers, compiles the results, and shares findings with the FCC, FTC, and state attorneys general.

    Participation is voluntary in form but effectively mandatory in practice, as non-response is documented and used in enforcement.
