WASHINGTON, June 30, 2021—FCC Acting Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel today
announced that the largest voice service providers are now using
STIR/SHAKEN caller ID authentication standards in their IP networks, in
accordance with the deadline set by the FCC. This widespread
implementation helps protect consumers against malicious spoofed
robocalls and helps law enforcement track bad actors. The STIR/SHAKEN
standards serve as a common digital language used by phone networks,
allowing valid information to pass from provider to provider which, among
other things, informs blocking tools of possible suspicious calls.
