[VoiceOps] FCC RMD Naughty List

[Dave Russo]

I was under the impression that you need to have a current 499 filing to (1) become STIR/SHAKEN certified and (2) pay the fee each year based on the company's most recent reported 499 revenue?

How is Atheral able to operate as a STIR/SHAKEN compliant provider with 5 years of missing 499 filings? Are they paying the fee based on their 2019 revenue?

> 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.
