[VoiceOps] How much will the TRACED act help with international orignated robocalls

[Dovid Bender]

Pinchas,

I never looked into intl. CLI but I believe it's only mandated for CLI that
originates with US CLI. I just did some test calls where the CLI was from
Cyprus using non US carriers (BICS, Bezeq, Cyta) and N2P (US based) and in
all cases except one the calls were sent unsigned. In one case it was
signed with attestation B.
