[comp.dcom.telecom] Name and Address From Your Number

There is a full page ad in this month's issue of Inbound/Outbound
(A Telemarketing Trade Magazine) placed by a company called TeleMatch.

This company sells names and addresses based on the phone number you provide
them.

The quote in the ad: "You can use phone numbers for more than making calls.
You can use them to send mail."

Gee... Combine this with ANI or CallerID and you end up unknowingly providing
your name and address with every phone call. Why do I not find that thought
very comforting?
