big confusion here about Stir Shaken. It is NOT a provider

<p>I think this, being the basis of your whole argument, is the
fallacy. S/S is forcing people to take responsibility, for sure,
but carriers won't just let their customers leave because they
don't want to sign calls. It will force them to make sure they
know who their customers are, and make it impossible for those
customers to escape consequences if they misbehave.</p>
<p>We supply dialtone to a large number of businesses. We buy DIDs
from carriers and resell them. It *may* be up to us to get our
direct customers' calls signed, but at the moment we are in talks
with our DID providers to do so on our behalf. In the next year I
have no doubt if there are niches to be filled in providing CA or
outright signing-as-a-service, businesses will be jumping out of
the woodwork to provide it. I'm not panicking yet.<br>

<p>Its not just arrogant, its silly, and you have a serious branding
problem. If you really have "The Answer" you should work on
getting yourself a domain name at least. Cease the panic-inducing
posts and come up with some reasonable fodder you could link to in
your signature or something (like when you help with some thread),
so you would at least contribute to the list at the same time.<br>
</p>
<p>Some of us may actually be interested in what you have to offer
if you changed the way you were presenting it. Who is going to
base their business on some list guy with a gmail address?</p>
