Exemption rules: The WKT companies are eligible for the continuing extension of the STIR SHAKEN implementation deadline under FCC rules §64.6304(a)(2) and §64.6304(d). To meet the non-IP network criteria for the continuing STIR SHAKEN extension (? 64.6303 (a)(2)), WKT is a member of NTCA. NTCA participates on the ATIS PTSC Non-IP Call Authentication Task Force working group which developed the (ATIS Solutions) non-IP call authentication solutions. NTCA is serving as WKT’s third-party representative on the ATIS PTSC Non-IP Call Authentication Task Force working group. WKT qualifies for the continuing extension of the STIR SHAKEN implementation deadline as a small voice service provider (§64.6304 (a)(2) that has non-IP portions within its network §64.6304(d). WKT provides local service to fewer than 100,000 voice subscriber lines. The majority of WKT customers are served on the non-IP portions of WKT’s network which relies on technology that cannot initiate, maintain, carry, process, and terminate SIP calls. In addition, WKT’s non-IP network is connected to carriers that do not support IP connectivity; therefore, WKT cannot upgrade the Non-IP connections to IP connectivity.
