Oliver also noted that they are going to use a "battery pack" to protect against robocalls from their own devices.

He also explained the FCC is going to have to take action on these calls so that they don't come back to the FCC once they are used, which isn't unreasonable.

"These will go over to the FTC, but for now they have not come to that conclusion," Oliver said.

"You've heard the argument that everyone needs to use a battery pack when they're sitting in their car, and I think the real answer is, no!"

Oliver's comment comes after Pai launched an attack on the FCC's plan to make it harder for big ISPs to block mobile broadband providers, including Comcast, by allowing them to block the services of other mobile providers like Google and Facebook.

The FCC has been under fire for blocking the use of voice calling and other mobile telephony services over the past year and a half, with the FCC's first proposal that would have allowed large telecoms to block those services. Pai's bill would not have allowed the FCC to block these services, but his critics, including many conservative Republicans, have raised concerns that it would force many of the companies that sell those services to AT&T and Verizon to pay for a new set of rules that would block such services at the expense of consumers.
