Ask HN: Why are robocalls not solved?

I just read the below article and I'm curious why robocalls are not stopped. I've been getting a call for the same exact service twice a day for a year.

Are robocalls technologically challenging to detect and block? Do telecom companies not have an incentive to block them? Or even worse is it in their favor to let the calls happen? Is there a lobbying group or some political reason?
