• FCC tackles a thorny robocall problem--how to verify caller ID on POTS

    From Jim Millick@21:1/5 to All on Mon Oct 10 18:28:06 2022
    The Federal Communications Commission is hoping to solve one of the
    thorniest problems in the fight against robocalls: how to verify
    caller ID on older landlines that don't use Internet Protocol (IP)
    technology.

    The FCC already requires phone companies to implement STIR/SHAKEN
    caller ID authentication tech on the IP portions of their voice
    networks. But due to technology limitations, STIR/SHAKEN requirements
    haven't applied to the older TDM-based networks generally used with
    copper landlines.
