Sherry R. Ross Analyzes FCC Network Security and Modernization Developments at Somos Summit

Associate Sherry R. Ross recently broke down Federal Communications Commission (FCC) developments in consumer safeguards, network security, and communications infrastructure modernization in a Power Session at the 2026 Somos Summit in Washington, D.C.

Sherry joined a panel of industry experts in the session, “The Regulatory Road Ahead: A Legal Look at FCC Proceedings,” to offer a legal perspective on key issues including, Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Upstream Provider (KYUP), intercarrier compensation, and IP transition. The discussion helped attendees make sense of the current state of these regulations, highlighting areas of potential impact for their businesses.

Somos also highlighted Sherry’s remarks on LinkedIn during the summit. “I think the Federal Communications Commission is trying to accomplish greater accountability across the board,” she said. “When you look at STIR/SHAKEN and other measures…they’re trying to be more accountable throughout the call path.”
