Hey Shane, The basis of my idea was that it would be user-moderated/generated. A 'owner/operator' of a number, would submit & verify their phone number, enter their caller id, and basically be done with it. The logistics of it I don't really think would be that complicated. If a listing needs to be updated they basically go through the same process.
Right now, we're using a commonly available script (I can't remember the link off hand) that uses Google, 411.com, etc, to do a lookup and although it works pretty good, it is horribly inaccurate the majority of the time. -- Robert Norton SophMedia LLC Operations Manager Cell: 480-234-4312 Office: 480-626-5449 (x300) P.O.
