stating you needed authority to get numbering resources from the pooling administration
Am I wrong to think this is going to hit the VoIP/SIP trunking industry like a bomb? While the FCC did make possible direct ownership of number resources by VoIP companies a few years ago, as far as I know, a very small percentage of the industry has filed for an IPES OCN. It's complicated, getting numbers routed this way is complicated, and most SIP providers prefer to leverage the origination footprint of their underlying carriers/LECs, at least as far as I know. Even if one doesn't order any numbers, it sounds like one has to have an IPES OCN to have a STIR/SHAKEN certificate. Isn't that going to leave most interconnected VoIP providers scrambling to get an IPES OCN? As far as I know, 95%+ of the industry don't have one...
