Groups Oppose USTelecom Robocall Blocking Recon

Don't replace call blocking notification requirements with session initiation protocol code 603, the American Bankers Association, ACA International, American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management, Credit Union National Association, Mortgage Bankers Association, and National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions told staff of FCC Commissioner Nathan Simington, said a filing posted Tuesday in docket 17-59. ABA, ACA International, AAHAM, CUNA, MBA, the American Financial Services Association, National Council of Higher Education Resources, and Student Loan Servicing Alliance had a similar meeting with staff of Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. The groups opposed SIP code 603 because it doesn't "provide sufficient information to alert the caller to the reason for the uncompleted call." They asked the FCC to require that voice service providers implement SIP code 607 and 608 by a specific date while providing "periodic status reports stating the progress that providers have made toward adopting operational standards" if USTelecom's petition for reconsideration is granted (see 2111180078).
