What every voice service provider must actually do to stay compliant with the FCC's latest Report and Orders — RMD filings, STIR/SHAKEN, blocking rules, traceback, and the Section 214 risk if you get it wrong.
Every VSP with a U.S. presence — foreign or domestic, gateway or non-gateway — must maintain an active certification in the Robocall Mitigation Database. Recent orders require far more detail than the original 2021 filings: KYC procedures, traceback response times, and specific mitigation practices.
Full IP implementation is no longer optional for most providers. Small-carrier extensions are ending, and non-facilities-based providers no longer qualify. If any portion of your network handles calls over IP, those calls must be signed.
You must block illegal or highly likely illegal traffic when notified by the FCC or via industry traceback. Failure to block after notice is one of the fastest paths to enforcement action against a carrier.
The ITG expects a substantive response within 24 hours of a traceback request. Ignoring or missing tracebacks is now cited directly in FCC enforcement orders as evidence of a deficient mitigation plan.
The FCC has revoked carriers' operating authority for repeated robocall violations. Loss of Section 214 authority ends your ability to operate as a common carrier in the U.S. — this is the real teeth behind the Report and Orders.
