Umm... Caller ID spoofing and DSP audio processing of called numbers are two entirely different subjects.<br><br>And as far as creating more laws:<br>I say fix the damn technology first (Caller ID) before wasting tax payers money on more laws on the books that will be obsolete in a few years time.<br>
<br>While on the subject, it shouldn't be against the law to spoof one's own numbers. Other person's numbers, sure.. but if I want all my numbers to appear from one line, that's my own business. CID is sent in-band to a device *prior* to the ring voltage. And sometimes the data is sketchy depending on where your telco gets it's LIDB dips from. <br>
<br>As for your last point, I'm sure you'd also like to see the death penalty for jaywalking because you had to tap your car brakes or be late by 5 seconds. <br>Remind me not to waste my brake pads when you walk across the street.<br>

I am constantly being pestered by cold callers with fake caller ids,<br>
probe calls such as this, etc. I think for once CRTC/FCC need to step up<br>
to the plate and take some useful measures :<br>
<br>
- make knowingly presenting forged caller id a federal crime (its fraud<br>
and harassment already)<br>
- block caller id spoofing at the telco boundaries (we all do this now<br>
for ip addresses, so why not caller id ?)<br>
- ban offenders from having telecommunications service of any sort<br>
nationally once convicted.<br>
<br>
If the telcos can't adapt to providing service and accountablity this<br>
way and actually serving the customers who pay them, telecommunications<br>
with just evolve without them. Much the way the post office is being<br>
left behind since they can not compete with the speed of fax and email<br>
for documents or couriers for packages.<br>
