Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010 Passes House – VoIP Covered Too
The House passed the ” Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010 “, which under the bill, it makes it illegal “to cause any caller ID service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information, with the intent to defraud and deceive.” According to the bill, “To amend the Communications Act of 1934 to prohibit manipulation of caller identification information, and for other purposes”. That’s funny, I didn’t think they had Caller ID way back in 1934? The bill states, “It shall be unlawful for any person within the United States, in connection with any real time voice communications service, regardless of the technology or network utilized , to cause any caller ID service to transmit misleading or inaccurate caller ID information, with the intent to defraud or deceive.” So as shown in bold, VoIP is covered as well.

A big thanks to Rick LePage, editor of Photoshop Elements Techniques magazine, who included Red River Paper in the PET email newsletter. From the newsletter: “We did a reader survey last year, and one of the surprising results that jumped out at me was the large percentage of readers who said that they had either bought a photo printer or were planning on buying one so that they could print their photos and pages at home.
