Su-weeeeet: Telemarketers Must Display IDs

[Fausto]

This is the best news I've heard all day.

Such calls had shown up on Caller ID as "out of area." Now the name displayed by Caller ID must either be the company trying to make a sale or the firm making the call. The display must also include a phone number that consumers can call during regular business hours and ask that the company no longer call them.

Must have gotten a late start to the day.

Is that supposed to take effect immediately? I didn't see a timeline in the article.

Uh, Fausto, I think they're saying this is old news.
