SHAKEN/STIR Robocall Summit - July 11 2019 at FCC

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

I don't think SHAKEN/STIR really addresses the root problems with 
spoofing phone numbers, anymore than any of the BGP proposals for spoofing 
IP addresses.

Nevertheless, the FCC wants to be seen as doing something.  So Chairman 
Pai is having a summit to show all the progress.

On Thursday, July 11, 2019, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai will convene a summit 
focused on the industry’s implementation of SHAKEN/STIR, a caller ID 
authentication framework to combat illegal robocalls and caller ID 
spoofing.  Chairman Pai expects major voice service providers to deploy 
the SHAKEN/STIR framework this year.   The summit will showcase the 
progress that major providers have made toward reaching that goal and 
provide an opportunity to identify any challenges to implementation and 
how best to overcome them.
