   Outlawing VoIP

   Well, maybe VoIP will fail on its own anyway -- bad audio quality, networks that won't talk to each other, VoIP spam. I imagine there could be VoIP "worms" that make calls to people making death threats, telling them all their personal information.

   Re: Outlawing VoIP

   (1) This story has nothing to do with VoIP
   
   (2) These days, many VoIP networks have better-than-POTS quality
   
   (3) Almost all VoIP networks now have interconnect
   
   Do you ever get facts right?

   Re: Outlawing VoIP

   1. Won't spoofing caller ID be easier on VoIP? This type of forum is full of techies eager to boast that they don't have a land line anymore.
   
   2. and 3.: VoIP companies and VoIP enthusiasts claim this, but the reality is otherwise.

   Telemarketers can already do this

   ANI information is normally sent by the originating equipment. "Caller ID" is only accurate when you have a single line to the switch (i.e. residential and small commercial customers). Any business with a T-1 or ISDN connection through their PBX to the CO (i.e. any business with more than about 12 lines or so, depending on tariff) can generate any caller-ID string they want.

   No, that is part of the charm of Dorpus here. He can't be bothered with facts, just his adjenda.
   
   You are not the 1st person to notice Dorpus's position on Techdirt of chief spewer of crap.

   Why worrying with spoofing ANI when VOIP is better

   What would prohibit a Private Investigator from firing up a VOIP number and changing it every couple of months?

   This is serious!

   We had a guy at my work spoofing his caller ID so that people wouldn't know he was calling from work. Well, I guess he got pissed off one day, one thing lead to another, and he made some threats against some pretty important people. Needless to say, some more important people came knocking.
   Check out my guide to PROPERLY Spoof Caller ID
   Nice article from the "This will be fun dept". Josh
