The underlying problems with the Robocalls boil down to A: Bad people, and B: The underlying telephone network being unauthenticated.
The first problem is clearly an issue we can't solve, beyond enforcing laws.
The second problem is something all Telephone companies, Verizon included, must agree to work together on to fix. They haven't done this so far yet because "it costs too much" and would "inconvenience the customer."
