the law does not stop all unsolicited calls. However, STIR/SHAKEN can significantly reduce the number of illicit calls received and help customers once again have faith in their provider and their Caller ID.
Beyond cutting down on illicit robocalls and curbing fraud, STIR/SHAKEN can help CSPs reduce costs. Over the past decade, telecom companies and their customers incurred losses from different types of telephony-based fraud, totaling $38.1 billion.
The adoption and enforcement of STIR/ SHAKEN packs a one-two punch for CSPs— enabling them to boost customer satisfaction and dramatically lower the cost of managing fraud and recouping potential losses. What’s next?
While the FCC has strongly encouraged providers to deploy STIR/SHAKEN in the past, the FCC is quickly working toward new rules that will require the phone industry
to implement the call authentication technology.
At the end of March 2020, the FCC is slated to vote on this proposal which
