[VoiceOps] Truth in CallerID act of 2010

[David Hiers]

Near as I can tell... As long as the "intent to defraud, etc"
exclusion is in there, pretty much nothing changes.  You pretty much
have to be trying to break another law (fraud, harm, etc) to get
busted on this one.  This just gives them one more arrow to shoot at
the fraudster, and it'll even stick in an unsuccessful one at that!

You can still mislead as much as you like if you are doing out of
humor or laziness.

Carriers are pretty much indemnified from almost everything; we can't
have those billionaires actually responsible for anything, now can we?

Still gotta get counsel's read on this one, of course.
