I may differ from you in my ideas about the "worth" of Caller ID,
but I do have to agree with you on this issue.  The phone companies
are making a nice little income from selling unlisted numbers, and
then selling Caller ID, and then selling call trace, and then selling
Caller ID block, and then selling Caller ID block block, and then
selling second phone lines ...

If the phone companies could't make money off of it, we wouldn't
have Caller ID.  Why, just think about how much money they've made
leasing communications lines to transport these news articles!
