[comp.dcom.telecom] Cost of Caller ID

Regarding the comment that people won't pay for a feature they may not
need: I believe I heard that the way this feature was billed by some telcos
was on a per use basis. That is, if you entered the trace code a record was
generated at the office _and_ a $3 charge was made to your bill. There was
no recurring charge.
