[VoiceOps] Canadian Reputation and Spam

[Ivan Kovacevic]

Few things

1. Canada has a separate S/S token authority and there is no agreement in
place to be able to delegate from the USA to Canada and vice versa. That
being said - S/S is not being widely used for call filtering as far as we
can tell

2. Hiya and the rest of the racketeers have only started to make inroads. I
believe Hiya is working with Rogers but no one is working with Telus/Bell
and other major mobile carriers.

3. The device layer is fragmented and a bit of a wild west as it is in the
USA. So we still see "SPAM" etc classification and complaints from clients,
but mostly device based.

4. Canadian Caller Name works differently. Unlike CNAM - most of the
networks/providers support a pushed Caller Name (vs lookup/etc) so the
whole underlying model is a bit different.

5. Nothing stopping you from registering Canadian numbers with Hiya and
hoping for the best.

6. The CRTC (our FCC) has mandated carriers to block "obvious" spam
traffic, without defining this clearly. The basic level revolves around
filtering non-10-digit ANIs or obviously invalid ones (NXX=555) and
different carriers do it differently. Some will block straight up... Rogers
used to send these to what appeared to be a VM box.


Hope this helps.
