[VoiceOps] Numbers listed as spam by Hiya

[Nathan Anderson]

Especially after we all jumped through a bunch of hoops & paid other sums of money to be part of the "STIR/SHAKEN ecosystem".

If we also have to deal with actively registering numbers with third-party databases as well, what's the friggin' point?

Seriously. How are we even supposed to know about these registries, if not for this list? What makes them in any sense official? Nothing? Who put them in charge? Are there more registries? Do you have to pay the extortion for both registries to be sure? 

If not for the fact that it’s an expedient business decision, I think everyone here should refuse to comply in principle.

I’m as far from pro-spam as Heaven is from Earth, but this is beyond ridiculous.
