Stir/Shaken Requirements for All IP-Based Networks Effective Friday

All IP-based voice service provider networks must have implemented Stir/Shaken by Friday, said an FCC news release. "While there is no single cure-all when it comes to robocalls, having this technology in our networks is real progress and we will continue to push forward with this and every other tool we have to fight these junk calls," said Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel. Facilities-based small voice service providers and gateway providers "not subject to an extension" are now required to implement the caller ID authentication framework in the IP portion of their networks after having a two-year extension to do so.
