- Yes, and this is greatest joke of all on Californians. The activists
- won the Caller-ID battle here by convincing the brain-dead CPUC to put
- all kinds of restrictions on any CNID offering. Pac*Bell just days ago
- announced that it was, in effect, giving up on any Caller-ID in
- California.
-
- But what people do not understand is that those preciously private
- telephone numbers will soon be displayed out of state on a wide scale.
- It is only other CALIFORNIANS that will not see the number displayed.
- Already, I am told, telephones in Las Vegas display the numbers of
- California callers. As AT&T and MCI (Sprint seems to have fallen by
- the wayside) rapidly deploy SS7 connectivity to exchanges nationwide,
- the CLASS services will traverse LATA boundaries.
-
- This is the best 'gotcha' I have ever seen to hit technophobes.

- [Moderator's Note: We seem to be getting some out of LATA Caller ID
- messages here now also. Not many yet, but more than this time last
- year. Remember the judge in Pennsylvania, who in his wisdom declared
- Caller ID was an 'illegal trap and trace device'? I wonder if he'll be
- getting after us here in Chicago once SS-7 makes delivery of caller
- numbers from Pennsylvania to us a reality? :) PAT]
