I'm sure the implementation phase is longer than 1 nanosecond.

The press release is pretty poorly-written, but it sounds like today's been the deadline for (at least) a year.

> June 30, 2022—Starting today certain small phone companies must comply with FCC rules to implement caller ID authentication tools on their networks, just as large voice service providers are required to since June 30, 2021.

Seems like it's very new for small phone companies, but yeah I agree today seems to be a deadline.

> just as large voice service providers are required to since June 30, 2021.

So you're saying that, judging by the 3 spam calls I've gotten today on my (very large) phone carrier, these rules don't do very much.

The small phone companies are the ones sending the spam to you on whichever network you happen to use.

My understanding is that enforcement will start tomorrow. But I'm not especially familiar with the Telco environment. My understanding is also that there is still a remaining loophole for international telcos, which will close in another year's time.

The deadline for "gateways" (meaning telephone services providers that receive and forward calls from international numbers) is still next summer.

Most spams calls have bene originating through those gateways for the past few months, so this deadline arriving shouldn't have any immediate impact.

They said they closed this one. The deadline for another big loophole (foreign gateways) is same time next year.
