[comp.dcom.telecom] Rochester Telephone CID

Jeff Wasilko <jjwcmp@ultb.isc.rit.edu> (04/10/91)

Paraphrased from the {Democrat and Cronicle}

Rochester Tel hasn't decided whether to offer CID under new privacy
guidlines laid down by the NY Public Service Commission.

The PSC ruled out CID proposed by Rochester Telephone and NY Telephone
because their services included per-call blocking, and not per-line
blocking.  The commission also requires all unlisted lines to be
blocked by default.

The PSC also issued a rule that bars resale of numbers gleaned from
incoming 800 calls.
