Privacy Issue (ANI in SF Bay Area)
by Ryan Russell/SYBASE 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

Here's something cute: Yesterday PacBell turned on ANI on our trunk groups, for local area calls. On their own, mind you, without request from us. If you call anyone here with a display phone, it displays your number, even if you have caller-id blocking on or you do a *70 (for those who don't know, ANI is not caller-id, you can't block your number from being displayed with ANI.) It also grabs your phone number if you leave a voice mail, so even folks without display phones can benefit. I post this thinking it may be of interest. I actually disagree that people ought to be able to block their number. My feeling is that if someone is calling me, they have no right be anonymous. Of course, I realize that this is easy to defeat with call forwarding and such.. In fact, if I call you from my work phone..you won't see my direct dial number...you'll see a number for PacBell's trunk group. Now...I just have to figure out how PacBell is charging us.. if it's .01$ per call like regular ANI...at 100,000 calls per day.. Hmm...first fix is free? A new PacBell marketing program? Our CIO loves the new "feature." Ryan

If you can't find the buttons in Eudora, it is because they are in a different location than you think they are. Look next to the "Queue" button. PGP should make this clearer in their docs.

It was a conference call but over a cellular phone. Martin had hacked his Radio Shack Scanner using a well known technique. He had a radio ham license. I still don't expect a conviction. Lets see a guy gets a tape he believes shows that the Speaker of the house lied to the ethics committee. He hands it to a senior member of the ethics committee of the house despite knowing that in doing so he put himself at risk of prosecution. Does anyone in their right mind expect any jury to convict in such a case? Basically a trial would be open season for the defense to take pot shots at Newt. Q. "Why did you not hand the tape over to the chair of the committee? A. I thought they might try to suppers it. Q. Why did you give the tape to MacDermott? A. I thought it showed that the Speaker had acted illegally. Q. Illegal? How? A [at very great length to be repeated verbatim on CNN twice an hour] As a first time offender the most the Martins could expect to suffer would be a $5000 fine. They could easily recoup that on the chat show circuit. This is the country where Ollie North launched his political career by subverting the constitution and lying to congress and where JO Simpson murdered his wife and got away with it. Don't expect the Martins to be occupying a jail cell any time soon. Newt on the other hand... Phill
