a long story that I'm not going to share publicly since we are working
with the FCC on those filings, but we have paid iconnectiv fees based on
the annual revenue we collected. We have also been contributing at a
far higher rate to USF than we should have.<br><div

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

style="font-family:Arial;"><br></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?<br></div><div
style="font-family:Arial;"><br></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"

style="font-family:Arial;"><br></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?<br></div><div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div><div
