Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai today proposed a major
step forward to further the FCC’s efforts to protect consumers against
spoofed robocalls: new rules requiring implementation of caller ID
authentication using socalled “STIR/SHAKEN” technological standards.
STIR/SHAKEN enables phone companies to verify the accuracy of caller ID
information that is transmitted with a call. Industry-wide
implementation would reduce the effectiveness of illegal spoofing, allow
law enforcement to identify bad actors more easily, and help phone
companies identify calls with illegally spoofed caller ID information
before those calls reach their subscribers.
The FCC will vote on these new rules during its Open Meeting on March 31.
