[VoiceOps] Requirements for SHAKEN service providers

[Mary Lou Carey]

So connecting the dots between all the FCC statements we know of.......I 
think the following statements are still true:

1. A company can attest all their TNs (whether leased or owned) if they 
have a STIR/SHAKEN certificate,
2. Only those companies with a STIR/SHAKEN certificate can attest calls.
3. Only those companies with a state certification or FCC License can 
get a STIR/SHAKEN certificate because only companies with a state 
certification or FCC License are able to obtain direct access to NANPA.
