value for CLID that does not match a number linked to their account. Full stop. If they transmit a number that isn't actually provisioned on their account, we don't block the call, but the CLID gets forcibly overwritten with their BTN instead. We simply
won't allow a CLID spoof.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

side, but only after they have first supplied us with sufficient documentation / proof of ownership of those numbers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The FCC is mandating that service providers must fully implement STIR/SHAKEN or certify that they are taking reasonable steps to avoid originating illegal robocall traffic in the portions of their network where STIR/SHAKEN can’t be implemented.
They have also declined to specify what those steps might be, though there may be more information available when they clarify the certification process by March 30<sup>th</sup>.<o:p></o:p></p>
