Milton In a decision issued in April of this year, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ("CRTC") required all telecommunications service providers ("TSPs") in Canada to implement STIR/SHAKEN to authentic and validate IP-based calls effective 30 November 2021. STIR/SHAKEN is a set of protocols and procedures that are intended to reduce caller identification ("ID") spoofing. Caller ID spoofing occurs when callers deliberately falsify (or spoof) their caller ID. This conduct undermines the ability of call recipients to screen out nuisance calls. Mondaq.com

Fox (Washington, DC) , Scott Thompson (Washington, DC), Angela Y. Kung (Washington, DC), Daniel P. Reing (Washington, DC) and Christen B'anca Glenn (Washington, DC) The next-generation of wireless technologies - known as 5G - is here. Not only is it expected to offer network speeds that are up to 100 times faster than 4G LTE and reduce latency to nearly zero, it will allow networks to handle 100 times the number of connected devices, revolutionizing business and consumer connectivity and enabling the "Internet of Things." Leading policymakers - federal regulators and legislators - are making it a top priority to ensure that the wireless industry has the tools it needs to maintain U.S. leadership in commercial 5G deployments. This blog provides monthly updates on FCC actions and Congressional efforts to win the race to 5G. mondaq.com

The work requires intricate staging to reach the steeple and spire, and it will be done by Taylor-Made Builders, Inc. They redid the steeple at the Chestnut Street Baptist Church, also in Camden, several years ago. penbaypilot.com
