WASHINGTON, July 11, 2019—Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit 
Pai issued the following statement on today’s SHAKEN/STIR Robocall Summit 
at the FCC:

“We must move aggressively to help consumers combat scam robocalls that 
use and abuse caller ID spoofing, and that’s why we held today’s summit. 
The summit was productive, and we received generally encouraging signs 
that companies are headed toward full implementation of the SHAKEN/STIR 
caller ID authentication framework. I was pleased to hear from voice
service providers, vendors, consumer advocates, and others about the 
successes to date and the challenges that remain.

“Given what I heard today, I am optimistic that the major voice service 
providers will meet the end-of-2019 deadline for implementation I set for 
them. That said, we stand ready to take regulatory action if this deadline 
is not met. We have already adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and 
will move quickly to mandate SHAKEN/STIR if needed.

“As I’ve said before and as panelists noted today, there is no silver 
bullet to solving the problem of unwanted robocalls. But caller ID 
authentication is an important part of the solution. And we will continue 
to execute on the rest of our multi-pronged strategy as well. We have been 
and will continue to do everything we can to protect American consumers 
from this scourge.”
