Re: [VoiceOps] Requirements for SHAKEN service providers

2020-03-26 Thread Mary Lou Carey
So connecting the dots between all the FCC statements we know of...I 
think the following statements are still true:


1. A company can attest all their TNs (whether leased or owned) if they 
have a STIR/SHAKEN certificate,

2. Only those companies with a STIR/SHAKEN certificate can attest calls.
3. Only those companies with a state certification or FCC License can 
get a STIR/SHAKEN certificate because only companies with a state 
certification or FCC License are able to obtain direct access to NANPA.

"While the access limitation is reasonable, signing a given call
should not be limited to only the pool of numbers available to the
provider via direct access. In other words, per ATIS-100074, 5.2.3,
under correct conditions a qualified service provider (SP) must be
allowed to sign leased numbers as well as other numbers belonging to
an OCN not assigned to that qualified SP insofar as the SP can
properly verify the customer's authorized use of that number."

My company meets the first two requirements as we have an OCN as an
interconnected voice provider (IPES) and a current Form 499-A filed,
however we obtain telephone numbers from our carriers, and don’t
have our own numbers assigned from NANPA and NPA.  How do we
determine if we are eligible to obtain numbers and thus be qualified
to play in the SHAKEN ecosystem?

Obamacare tripled the staff at both of the billing companies we serve, and
doubled call volume.  It legally requires billing within a certain
timeframe, which also causes erroneous bills to go out, then they have to
call customers and say "no not really wait for your second bill with a
correction."

Oh yeah. Medical billing is the one thing this country will not forget or 
neglect under any circumstances. That’s one thing we do really well - medically 
bill. After the thermonuclear Armageddon, cockroaches will remain, along with 
medical billing.

And the PHP programming language.

Medical billing--exactly the same.

"Elective" medicine like dental and small doctor's office--totally dead.

Manufacturing--dead.

Professional offices--normal.

We saw a spike in traffic very early on, and now we're well below normal.

[VoiceOps] Requirements for SHAKEN service providers

2020-03-26 Thread Zilk, David
There are three requirements for a Service Provider to be included in the 
SHAKEN ecosystem:


1.   Service Provider must have an OCN

2.   Service Provider must have a current Form 499-A filed with the FCC

3.   Service Provider must have direct access to telephone numbers from the 
North American Number Plan Administrator (NANPA) and National Pooling 
Administrator (NPA)

My company meets the first two requirements as we have an OCN as an 
interconnected voice provider (IPES) and a current Form 499-A filed, however we 
obtain telephone numbers from our carriers, and don't have our own numbers 
assigned from NANPA and NPA.  How do we determine if we are eligible to obtain 
numbers and thus be qualified to play in the SHAKEN ecosystem?
