CRTC USF email: add FCC photo-ID KYC requirement to the burden list + Canada contrast

Browse source 
The FCC's 2025 Robocall Mitigation Order (47 CFR 64.1200(n)(4), FCC 25-6)
requires collecting + authenticating a government-issued photo ID for every
new customer before turning up voice service. Add it to the US-carrier burden
list and the matching 'does not apply in Canada' advantage.
