Re: Caller ID legal issues (was: caller ID and implementer's guid e)
Matt,
With respect, what implementations do IS our business - at least to the extent of ensuring that it should be clear from the standard how to implement something that is both sensible and compliant. Several problems in the implementation of standards (and, worse, inoperabilities between implementations of the standards) have arisen from contributors to standards bodies NOT considering implementation.

All this means is that the protocol must allow flexibility. For example, it must be able to transport the caller-id presentation restriction and caller-id screening indicator. What the implementations do with that is not our business.

(I am straying from the original topic, so I changed the Subject.)
This is not a standards-related issue, so we can end this thread if someone objects, but I was wondering about the legal ramifications
of caller ID.
Are there laws in some countries that require the following,
or is it just
considered good etiquette and/or a market-driven feature?
Caller ID to be transmitted if provided by the caller
Caller ID not to be displayed to the called party if so
requested by the
caller ("presentation restricted")

Some PC based H.323 endpoints allow one, with just a littleknowledge, to persuade them to output debugging which includes
all elements of
decoded RAS/Q.931-H.225.0/H.245 messages. This is clearly
"undesirable"
when security of information contained in such messages
is required!
It also might be quite hard for some people to switch off. I don't have a solution to this: I just raise it
as an issue.
