I think if I have the #'s assigned to my organization, I can send any valid numbers, regardless of whether they are with that carrier or not. I don;t think some carriers care, or will bother changing anything in light of this.
"IN GENERAL.—It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States, in connection with any telecommunications service or IP-enabled voice service, to cause any caller identification service to knowingly transmit misleading or inaccurate caller identification information with the intent to defraud, cause harm, or wrongfully obtain anything of value, unless such transmission is exempted pursuant to paragraph " It says "knowingly". At the same time, the onus is on the user, not the carrier. I think it really takes aim at skype though, because the user "knowingly" understands it is sending a spoofed callerid that does not lead back to them. Then again, the past several administrations have had a hard-on for getting skype to comply with US digital wiretapping stuff, which is highly improbable on their network due to its inherent "non-centralized" design. One could argue that, "I use the free version of skype, unless I pay for the service, I can't control the outbound caller id, therefore, I am not knowingly doing this, but skype is. Of course, all Skype has to do on these calls is send anonymous, which is protected by the act. They (Congress, FCC, White House), keep amending the Telecom Act of 1934. What they need is a bigger better deal, or a complete replacement of the framework, but trying to get +500 lawyers to understand minute details of technology and agree on anything...
