Numeracle Reply Comments on KYC-Vetted RCD for BCID

FCC Reply Comment
September 11, 2023

Numeracle’s reply comments in CG Docket 17-59 and WC Docket 17-97 reinforce the position that caller identity display should be governed by standards-based Rich Call Data (RCD) supported by rigorous Know Your Customer verification. The filing, submitted to the Federal Communications Commission, supports ecosystem models that pair vetted enterprise identity feeds with structured governance processes to ensure authenticity in consumer-facing communication.

The reply further aligns with the Carrier Branded Identity (BCID) concept by advocating for RCD frameworks that are anchored in verifiable identity proofs rather than analytics-driven labeling systems. Numeracle cautions against market models where legitimate communications were historically degraded through misclassification, which subsequently created artificial demand for branding and display remediation services.

KYC Relevance

Rich Call Data without KYC verification is primarily cosmetic. Embedding KYC governance transforms display identity into a trustworthy and enforceable communication attribute rather than a post-hoc presentation layer.

Numeracle’s Perspective

Identity ecosystems should be built on open, standards-based interoperability rather than closed models that concentrate control within vendor-driven markets. Sustainable trust frameworks rely on verifiable identity proofs, transparent governance, and collaborative ecosystem standards.
