Path: utzoo!utgpu!jarvis.csri.toronto.edu!mailrus!wuarchive!texbell!vector!telecom-gateway From: Heartmate@cup.portal.com Newsgroups: comp.dcom.telecom Subject: ANI Updates Wanted Message-ID:Date: 30 Sep 89 15:45:15 GMT Sender: news@vector.Dallas.TX.US Lines: 24 Approved: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-Submissions-To: telecom@eecs.nwu.edu X-Administrivia-To: telecom-request@vector.dallas.tx.us X-TELECOM-Digest: volume 9, issue 421, message 5 of 8 Hi, Patrick -- Hope you can help me. I understand there was an on-going debate on the comp.dcom.telecom. newsgroup about ANI and Invasion of Privacy. It appears to have been dropped from the system I use (Portal) -- anyway I can get access to the information/debate? Alternatively, if you could point me to somebody who might be able to share some general information with me I'd appreciate it. What I am specifically interested in is the following -- I've heard that at least two class action lawsuits have been filed against AT&T in NJ and Florida -- this is not direct information so it may be a little confused -- what I want to know is: is this true? What's the status? Anything else that relates to the topic. Also what other states are on the bandwagon? Noticed a post re. Maryland on the newsgroup today. Hope to hear from you soon. [Moderator's Note: Not *that* topic again, please! Perhaps a couple of the readers who were the most prolific on the subject here will kindly write correspondent with their views. Although if anyone knows anything about the 'class action suits' he alludes to, that news would be welcome. But I suspect the suits would be against local telcos rather than AT&T would they not? PT]
