<p>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.</p>

<div style="font-family: Arial;">Here is the FCC order & list mentioned: <a href="https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-1235A1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/DA-24-1235A1.pdf</a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">Also somewhat related, I'm curious how some companies that claim to be STIR/SHAKEN compliant and are listed on iconectiv's authorized provider list get away with not being fully FCC compliant?</div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">For example when we were looking for a new provider it came to my attention that Atheral is 5 years behind on its FCC 499 filings... Looks like it last filed in 2019: <a href="https://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/form499/499detail.cfm?FilerNum=832820" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://apps.fcc.gov/cgb/form499/499detail.cfm?FilerNum=832820</a></div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: Arial;">Does this mean it can get shut down any time the FCC decides to do that? Will resellers that use them be at risk of losing service or subject to some FCC action themselves?</div>

<div>How many of you are on the Robocall Mitigation Database naughty list that the FCC just sent out?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>
<div>It'd be nice if they told you *WHY* your filing was deficient. Instead, they just generically list broad categories that you may or may not fit into.</div>
