No - I agree completely. I am not advocating that the bill is right or what I want. I am just explaining their logic - which as annoying as it is has some merit.
As I read it - as long as you aren't doing anything evil - it doesn't really apply. Note: I am not an attorney nor do I play one on TV.

Misleading or inaccurate, I would read this to imply that I'm not miss leading you, I'm not providing inaccurate information I am providing you with a means to contact me back. I'm opening stating "who" I am and where you can reach me with no malitious attempt. The "Misleading or inaccurate" part would encompass the scenario you describe above. Much the same the intention isn't to target corporate offices where employee's have DID's but their caller ID shows up as the trunk line which feeds to the building / company operator. Now, if I goto a provider and tell them my caller ID is the corporate number for Maytag and start calling people at 3am with is your refrigerator running that would count as Misleading :) -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bryan Laird, Sr. Manager CM Operations Phone: 703-944-9909 -+- Cablemodems are the gateway to the Internet.
