I was totally horrified when I saw the announcement. That said there is considerable progress on long term solution that cryptographically authenticates calls and ultimately displays that data to the called party. Its called STIR/SHAKEN and the framework was developed in a partnership between ATIS and the SIP Forum I’m a member of the FCC North American Number Council [NANC] and we just submitted a report to the Commission on what the Industry consensus solution will look like. It has total support from the usual suspects and Chairman Pai. It’s not a total “silver bullet” but combined with other FCC actions should make a serious dent in the problem if Google and others don’t complicate the problem by crap technology like this. http://www.nanc-chair.org/docs/mtg_docs/May_18_Call_Authentication_Trust_Anchor_NANC_Final_Report.pdf — Richard Shockey Shockey Consulting LLC Chairman of the Board SIP Forum www.shockey.us www.sipforum.org richard<at>shockey.us Skype-Linkedin-Facebook –Twitter rshockey101 PSTN +1 703-593-2683 From: Dave Farber <farber () gmail com> Reply-To: <dave () farber net> Date: Thursday, May 10, 2018 at 11:18 AM To: ip <ip () listbox com> Subject: [IP] USA Today: Google's version of robocalls has small businesses skeptical Begin forwarded message: From: Lauren Weinstein <lauren () vortex com> Date: May 10, 2018 at 10:14:27 AM EDT To: nnsquad () nnsquad org Subject: [ NNSquad ] USA Today: Google's version of robocalls has small businesses skeptical USA Today: Google's version of robocalls has small businesses skeptical https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/talkingtech/2018/05/10/googles-version-robocalls-has-small-businesses-skeptical/596197002/ Lauren Weinstein, a Los Angeles-based technology consultant, says the system can work if Google is upfront about it. "Humans in general don't mind talking to machines so long as they know that they're doing so," Weinstein says. "I anticipate significant negative reactions by many persons who ultimately discover that they've been essentially conned into thinking they're talking to a human, when they actually were not." With so many of us cursing at our phones daily for all those annoying robo calls, Alex Quilici, the CEO of the app YouMail, which promises to cut down on robocalls, calls Google's technology "a massive Christmas present to robocallers." - - - --Lauren-- Lauren This message was sent to the list address and trashed, but can be found online.
