Thinking beyond STIR/SHAKEN, BICS Podcast

Deadlines. Proclamations. Discussions. Seminars and webinars and panels and great efforts. Even a rare bi-partisan agreement on the overall issue of robocalls. According to Katia Gonzalez Gutierrez of BICS, despite all of this, robocalls might have grown, however slightly, over the past few weeks and months as STIR/SHAKEN should now have begun to have an effect. In this podcast, Gonzalez takes us to a discussion that looks at the problem from beyond the confines of the current policy apparatus, and from the point of view of people dealing with this issue in the European Union. Gonzalez points out that the regulation of robocalling, and related issues, are still not harmonized. There might be legitimate calls being blocked, even while bad actors are still able to make unwelcome robocalls. “We need to find, as an ecosystem, a way to make them (the regulations) coexist, and work together,” says Gonzalez. “There has to be interoperability.” She adds that without better coordination, loopholes will arise, which will be exploited by bad actors, undermining the effort to noticeably lower the number of robocalls consumers and businesses are receiving.
