Regarding questioning of ethics, the post certainly could have been 
interpreted as such, and I attest that I drew the same inference, 
although I don't recall an overt accusation. So roar with laughter at me 
too. I reread it to figure out how I got that impression, and found this...

  Are they going to pretend they are the X mobile
>>> carrier? 

It's a question - about whether he plans to conduct a specific unethical 
practice. Perhaps the writer didn't mean to question his ethics.

Candidly, Steve Totaro's idea raised my eyebrow, but after a moment of 
reflection it seemed perfectly reasonable to do what he is doing, 
particularly as his proposition unfolded. Of course, much depends on the 
implementation details, but I see no reason to assume the worst. And in 
fact, he is paying the freight for these calls that he didn't even 
solicit. 'tsawright by me...

About speculation, I suppose that would be akin to cybersquatting on a 
domain name, or maybe listing labtops for sale on ebay. A shady, if not 
fraudulent practice with (distant) parallels to trademark infringement. 
But I think it would require more premeditation than what has been 
ascribed to this situation. It will be interesting to see what the 
regulations say, if brought to light.

Please turn down the flames.
