If I was running the FCC the name assigned to the number would be absolutely required unless the caller's ancient technology prevented even the number from being displayed, IOW, callerid would be all or nothing, and those without could be blocked with a messages saying why. You wouldn't answer your door if the person was wearing a mask, would you?
What about that woman's shelter I mentioned, where that number might be used to help someone find a woman they're abusing? What about other situations where confidentiality might be desired, such as when a guy calls home from a bar and tells his wife he's at work? ;-) I have call display (it even shows up on my TV, if I'm watching it) and I don't answer calls from numbers or people I don't recognize. I have voice mail and if it's important, they can leave a message. Some people also get my cell phone number, which they can call me on. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
