INCOMPAS Files Reply Comments in Robocall NOI
On September 13, INCOMPAS filed reply comments in the FCC's Notice of Inquiry on implementing authentication standards for telephone calls, including the protocols and multiphase framework developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), Alliance for Telecommunications Industry Solutions (ATIS) and SIP Forum.

INCOMPAS voiced its support of the FCC's efforts to eliminate illegal robocalls and has encouraged the agency to examine trusted identity frameworks. "However," INCOMPAS noted, "despite the progress made by industry with respect to the SHAKEN/STIR framework, the record in this proceeding indicates that the model remains under development and has limitations that should preclude the Commission from mandating its adoption."

INCOMPAS concluded that "[c]aller authentication methods, like the SHAKEN/STIR framework, will be an important tool for providers looking to protect their customers from fraudulent robocalls. However, given the current limitations to these techniques and concerns that legitimate call traffic may not receive adequate attestation, the Commission should refrain from imposing new requirements mandating their implementation."
