If the #FCC starts requiring #KYC for phone service, I wonder if it's going to be just phone service or even data-only sims. Since a data-only sim can't make telephone calls, then they ought to be exempt, I would think, if the stated goal is to prevent robocalls.
If the actual goal is surveillance, then of course they wouldn't be exempt. And that would answer the question right there.
