[Asterisk-Users] Regulatory Ruling about Caller-ID

[Matt]

I was told it was more along the lines of preventing stalking, but I'm

IE... Mary Smith seperates from Joe Smith... Joe Smith gets phone
service and wants his CID to read 'Jane Smith', who is Mary's sister,
so that Mary will answer when Joe calls.
