It's also common practice to hard drop abusive campaigns that do not respond to STOP, HELP and similar keywords at the provider's SMSC, and just collect the revenue from them texting your clients. The 10DLC cartel wants to fine in

Shipping silicon changes takes 3 years minimum, though usually 4 to 5 years depending on where a chip is at in its design cycle. Asking silicon manufacturers to be nimble and respin chips already in the pipeline is not realistic given the h
