OP here.<p>I&#x27;ve seen much recent discussion on HN about robocalls not being resolved by the new STIR&#x2F;SHAKEN protocol arising from the TRACED Act. I found this on <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;regulations.gov" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;regulations.gov</a> and thought it would be of interest.<p>The big US providers have implemented the STIR&#x2F;SHAKEN caller ID authentication framework as of mid-2021 but there was a 2-year extension to mid-2023 for small providers. The implementation appears to have been ineffective at stopping robocalls because of origination via the exempt small providers. The FCC has now passed a rule that a subset of small providers (those most likely to be originating illegal robocalls) must be in compliance by mid-2022.<p>TLDR - if this works there should finally be a dropoff in robocalls this summer.
