Authorized SHAKEN providers growing fast

The number of voice service providers authorized to do STIR/SHAKEN is growing fast. Let’s see what’s happening.

Sharp Increase in Authorized SHAKEN Providers Since April

Figure 1. Monthly Change in the Number of SHAKEN Authorized Providers in the U.S.

Figure 1 shows the monthly change in the number of voice service providers authorized for STIR/SHAKEN by the STI Policy Administrator. (Note that this is the change in the number of providers, not the total number of providers.)

The light blue bars show the confirmed number of new SHAKEN providers. June is already the highest month this year, and the month isn’t over at press time. The dark blue bar stacked on top of the June bar shows the number of new providers that could be reached if this rate of new providers seen so far in June continues through the end of the month.

New filers

What’s driving this increase? Scanning the newly authorized SHAKEN providers over the past few months, we see a variety of provider types:

• Mostly interconnected VoIP providers. Lots of small ones, and a few larger ones too.
• Quite a few small rural providers—not the majority, but they’re well represented.
