Classification
- Provider role(s)
- Voice service provider
- STIR/SHAKEN implementation
Role Implementation Voice service provider Partial Overall Partial - Exemption rules
- DTC is eligible 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). DTC provides local service to fewer than 100,000 voice subscriber lines and has customers served on the non-IP portions of DTC's network which relies on technology that cannot initiate, maintain, carry, process, and terminate SIP calls. DTC’s non-IP network is connected to carriers that do not support IP connectivity; therefore, DTC cannot upgrade the Non-IP connections to IP connectivity. To meet the non-IP network criteria for the continuing STIR SHAKEN extension (§ 64.6303 (a)(2)), DeKalb Telephone Cooperative, Inc. 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 DeKalb Telephone Cooperative, Inc.’s third-party representative on the ATIS PTSC Non-IP Call Authentication Task Force working group.
