[Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID

[Lacy Moore - Aspendora]

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.
