So for probably a year or so before the Stir/Shaken mandate
came, I have <br>
been seeing a lot less phone spam. I don't know if that's
typical but it <br>
was quite noticeable for me. What that tells me is that
providers likely <br>
started clamping down on their shady customers well ahead of
the mandate <br>
which says that regulatory fiat would have been sufficient
too. But that <br>
hinges on whether my situation is typical though.<br>
