The need is IDENTITY first and foremost.

Is that signaling identity, or media identity, or both?

Is either useful alone?

I'm thinking that a lot of people are demanding signaling identity without media identity, and haven't really thought about the consequences of that decision because they grew up with a telephone system that essentially lacks the distinction.

From an end user perspective, I would assert that the most important thing is probably the media. If the callerID says, "this is bob", what is important to the user, is that when I pick up the phone and start talking, it will be Bob who hears me, and Bob that I hear.

Consider this litmus test:

If the signaling actually came from Mary (perhaps as a third party), but the media goes/comes to/from Bob, who should appear on the caller ID? I say - Bob.
