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.
