[VoiceOps] FCC RMD Naughty List

[Mary Lou Carey]

The requirements for RMD changed and you now need to add a lot more
information. You only have 14 days to respond to the FCC, but MAKE SURE
YOU FILE YOUR 499 CONFIDENTIALLY! We have already learned of incidents
where scammers got ahold of company information and attempted to get the
company's underlying carriers to change the IP addresses for their SIP
trunks so they could hijack their network. We've brought this to the
attention of the FBI and FCC, but the FCC's only offer was to file them
confidentially. I personally think they're asking for way too much
information and stupid to allow anyone's information to be listed on a
public site, but until they fix the problem its up to carriers
themselves to make sure their information is secure. 

Ashley (with Equitel Compliance) and I (BackUP Telecom can help anyone
that needs to update their RMDs or get STIR/SHAKEN certified.
