Re: SITR/SHAKEN implementation in effect today (June 30 2021)

["K. Scott Helms" <kscott.helms () gmail com>]

Nothing will change immediately.  Having said that, I do expect that we
will see much more effective enforcement.  The investigations will come
from the ITG (Industry Traceback Group) with enforcement coming from FCC or
FTC depending on the actual offense.  The problem has been that it's been
far too easy for robocalling companies to hop from one telecom provider to
another.  Now there are requirements around "know your customer" that
telecom operators have to follow and the ITG will have a much better chance
of figuring out who the bad actor is than they have in the past.

Longer term I worry that this will lead to more attacks on PBXs, eSBCs, and
VOIP handsets to be able to call either from that endpoint itself or be
able to use the SIP credentials.  The market for robocalls will certainly
not disappear.
