Telecommunications News From Mass.

From Massachsett’s paper the Pembroke Express: The Committee on Telecommunication, Utilities and Energy held a hearing on several bills including requiring telephone companies to eliminate the private caller feature that currently allows callers the option to not have their phone number show up on the caller ID system of the person being called (S 1475). Under the bill, all numbers would be displayed.

Another proposal would require telephone companies to establish a toll-free number and a database of consumers who wish to opt out of receiving telephone directories and prohibit companies from delivering books to those homes (H 3116).
