[Asterisk-biz] bellster.net - GREAT advance

[Paul]

The really good part is that when you sign up you agree not to eavesdrop 
or record anything going through your node. It enhances the element of 
surprise when the heavily-armed SWAT commandos assault you, your loved 
ones and your premises. By now most law enforcement pros are well aware 
that people in chat rooms can use hacked computers to mask identity and 
location. They already know which snail mail addresses are actually mail 
drops and forwarding services. I doubt that many of them are aware of 
things like bellster. If anything it could lead to more regulation. 
There are probably some good reasons why the caller ID display says 
things like "pay telephone" or "correctional facility". I still remember 
getting an automated announcement at my office when the collect call was 
from the county jail. I promptly hung up and revoked all phone access 
for a certain employee. I guess the next step is to require that relay 
node operators be registered so the caller ID will say "could be from 
any a_____e from anywhere on earth".
