Telemarketers Held Accountable ... In Theory

str83dge writes "The House of Representatives just passed H.R. 90 which amends the Telecommunications Act to prohibit telemarketers from circumventing caller ID. People can file suit against the telemarketers for minimum damages of $500. Privacy.org has a story here. Question: if they circumvent caller ID, won't it be difficult for the average person to determine who actually is calling them? Let's just hope they take this a step further and apply it to spammers. :)"
