Mark, Agreed. I guess it comes down to how to decide who the originating carrier is that should be doing the attestation.
As an intermediate carrier, Bandwidth should just pass through whatever Identity header they get; but if there is no Identity header (stripped header, TDM link in the path, originating carrier not attesting, etc.) then the only assumption they can make is that the partner originated the call (even if they didn’t) and ‘B‘ is the only proper attestation they can apply. Bandwidth making the assumption that they are an intermediate carrier (and the unattested calls came from some other (non-partner) service provider) isn’t a reasonable assumption.

So many engineers have configured SBCs to strip every header except the handful they want to carry, but Identity needs to be added to those lists. The secondary problem to fix is that 47 CFR § 64.6302(b)<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.ecfr.gov_current_title-2D47_chapter-2DI_subchapter-2DB_part-2D64_subpart-2DHH_section-2D64.6302&d=DwMFaQ&c=N13-TaG7c-EYAiUNohBk74oLRjUiBTwVm-KSnr4bPSc&r=VcRLyVxkyGds34uxiPM944HQvaWq-nynyZXfNpSfhOs&m=aeE_eSJTR92A8G3x5c2t8ijZIxi52ZwThftNTV696VFw81HptjOHUXj7g4LuI1NY&s=hOdJJ6IH2hogIFreou6rwumeJHyESpE2STfbVEyextw&e=> allows intermediate providers to legally opt out of STIR/SHAKEN in any practical fashion. I am speculating in the example call flow shown below, but I wouldn't see Bandwidth's behavior as a key problem. The ATIS destination of the C-level attestation is for a situation that, like flying pigs, doesn't appear to occur anywhere in reality. Nobody just accepts SIP traffic from random, anonymous sources for termination. I'm glad Bandwidth is adding the attestation that it can add.

Exercise caution when clicking links or opening attachments, especially from unknown senders. Last week I was forwarded a note from this list regarding tools to test and debug SHAKEN Identity headers. That prompted us to stitch together some modules we already had in an attempt to help. What we have is at http://identity.legalcallsonly.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__identity.legalcallsonly.org&d=DwMFAg&c=N13-TaG7c-EYAiUNohBk74oLRjUiBTwVm-KSnr4bPSc&r=VcRLyVxkyGds34uxiPM944HQvaWq-nynyZXfNpSfhOs&m=qZMqiJ48ZdgXQNJnrLDT8ChNCkk7sQ42nMiHCNHAHu2zOSre0DPgkmi2n_jtKDvD&s=9EE8xl5gvlIOy3Ck4bTVDx8WWiobc-X72SZEUOtN0o8&e=>. You can call one of the test numbers listed on that page, and if we receive your header, we'll read you a six-digit code. Disconnect and then plug the code into the box on the web form, and we'll show you details of that Identity header. Perhaps most importantly, you'll be able to see if the header we received is the one you sent. In addition, we parse the header and try to tell you if it is correctly formatted and valid. Currently we have a couple of geographic DIDs and three toll-free numbers (each using different underlying providers). So far we aren't having a lot of success getting the Identity headers on the TFNs; we're working to improve that. Suggestions welcome. We hope the tool provokes more discussion about best practices regarding making the Authentication Framework as functional and useful as possible. Happy 4th of July!
