Oh! One other feature my phone-of-the-future should have: If someone wanted
an unpublished number, they could "cloak" it, that is, the number would be
available for database lookup so the person's name would appear on my
phone, but the place where the number usually appears would indicate
"cloaked". Computers recieving calls from cloaked numbers could be
instructed to hangup or compare the name field to an access list before
generating the tone.
