[comp.dcom.telecom] Texas Caller ID - Mandatory Blocking

ehopper@attmail.com (04/13/91)

I read a very brief article about an action of the Texas PUC (those
clear thinking devils) ruling that SWBT can offer Caller-ID, but only
if all lines DEFAULT to to per-line blocking.

Is this true?  I believe I read it in USA Today (hence the total lack
of detail and the high probability of screwed up facts).

If true, this action represents a screwed up mess that only Texas
regulators can attain.  Authorize a service, then cripple it to the point
it won't be worth having.
