A Regulatory Crossroads for CLECs
As we step into 2025, Competitive Local Exchange Carriers (CLECs) find themselves at the intersection of rapid technological evolution and tightening regulatory frameworks. With the FCC enforcing stricter STIR/SHAKEN mandates, ramping up robocall mitigation scrutiny, and increasing expectations for traceback participation, CLECs are compelled to shift from legacy systems toward real-time, automated, and agile infrastructures.
⚖️ The Challenges CLECs Face in 2025
CLECs must now navigate a more complex regulatory environment, including:
Mandatory STIR/SHAKEN implementation across all IP networks
FCC Robocall Mitigation Database (RMD) compliance with detailed reporting
Mandatory participation in traceback requests under TRACED Act enforcement
Greater scrutiny of attestation levels and certificate issuance practices
Heavier fines and penalties for non-compliance or inconsistent behavior
These challenges are compounded by the operational overhead of managing certificates, attestation, and call verification manually—especially for CLECs handling multiple interconnects or resellers.
🛠️ CLECs Must Modernize to Survive
To remain competitive and compliant, CLECs are modernizing their infrastructure and adopting smarter tools for:
STIR/SHAKEN readiness and real-time attestation
Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) automation
Seamless integration with VoIP switches and policy engines
Streamlined robocall mitigation reporting and data sharing
This transformation isn’t optional anymore—it's critical to avoid regulatory penalties and sustain trust with upstream providers and end users.
