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.

[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.

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 <mhoppes@gmail.com> 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? > > IE...
