On May 3, the North American Numbering Council (NANC) issued a report to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with recommendations for governance arrangements and implementation timelines for secure caller ID, or Secure Telephone Identity (STI), in the United States using the SHAKEN/STIR framework.
Background
Telephone users are demanding regulators do something to reduce or eliminate unwanted robocalls. Perpetrators use fake caller IDs to trick users into answering calls.
The Do-Not-Call-List, penalties, crowd-sourced reputation services and blacklists have not provided sufficient relief from unwanted robocalls.
