[VoiceOps] All carriers must get their STIR/SHAKEN certificate by June 30th!

[Mary Lou Carey]

Any carrier that provides originating VOIP or a combination of 
originating VOIP / PSTN /  Wireless VOICE services needs to get its own 
certificate. My understanding is that only those who provide PSTN-only 
voice services do not need to have their own STIR/SHAKEN token because 
the technology still does not support it.
