[comp.dcom.telecom] 911 CLID

In fact, when 911 was deployed in New York City a number of years ago,
CLID was *not* installed on the 911 lines, precisely because of
concerns about privacy.  It had nothing to do with cost.  That may have
changed; I was out of the area for a number of years, and couldn't
track that sort of issue closely.

Well, in Tucson, they neither charged us $.50 a month or told
us, but 911 got CLID---if you call 911 and hang up before
they answer, they call you right back and ask if everything
is OK.
