[Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
Hi, Did anyone hear about a recent ruling which makes it illegal to have caller-id set to anything except what is on the account of the user? IE... If your name is Joe Smith you can't have Mary Smith set as the caller-id name, unless mary smith is also on your account. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
DId you hear about the law that says you can't drive over the posted speed? How about the one about junk faxes, or the one about spam? Seriously, I'd like to see how this will be enforced. While I am sure this is to combat telemarketers faking their caller ID, I'm sure they already have some legal loophole to get through. Kinda like the Do Not Call List that doesn't work, fortunately Asterisk handles that very well. As you can tell, I'm not too keen on new laws, when the old ones don't seem to work either.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
I was told it was more along the lines of preventing stalking, but I'm sure telemarketers fit in there :) IE... Mary Smith seperates from Joe Smith... Joe Smith gets phone service and wants his CID to read 'Jane Smith', who is Mary's sister, so that Mary will answer when Joe calls.

I was always under the impression that the telcos stored the strings associated with numbers in their own databases (or in your own cell phone), thereby only allowing you to make your name appear to be Jane Smith if you spoof your caller id to be the registered number of someone whose name is actually Jane Smith. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- Asterisk-Users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
Right, but SOMEONE has to have that number linked to 'Jane Smith' somewhere. I do not have any sections or numbers or dockets to quote. What I was told was that Verizon recently had regulation brought down on them that prohibits them from setting the caller-id on a number to something or someone NOT on the account.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
Nah, I don't think so, but not heard of it doesn't mean it doesnt exist, so I'll just wait and see if anyone comes up with some more info. Meanwhile I will keep spoofing as needed. :) On 3/29/06, Matt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Did anyone hear about a recent ruling which makes it illegal to have caller-id set to anything except what is on the account of the user?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID
If there was some type of ruling, its most likely to be a state public service commission (different names in different states), and not with the Fed's, etc. Right, but SOMEONE has to have that number linked to 'Jane Smith' somewhere.
