[asterisk-users] Open CallerID Database?

[Robert Norton - SophMedia LLC]

Hey Shane,
The basis of my idea was that it would be user-moderated/generated. A
'owner/operator' of a number, would submit & verify their phone number,
enter their caller id, and basically be done with it. The logistics of it I
don't really think would be that complicated. If a listing needs to be
updated they basically go through the same process.

Right now, we're using a commonly available script (I can't remember the
link off hand) that uses Google, 411.com, etc, to do a lookup and although
it works pretty good, it is horribly inaccurate the majority of the time.

On the surface, I don't see how you could a db with a very good hit  
rate without paying for the data.

There are thousands and thousdands of database updates every day.

Perhaps I am missing your intent here.
