I didn't say every time they make a call. But everyone who is able to make a call. I don't see any reason a user of a payphone is not a customer of the payphone provider for example.
We'll have to wait for the final guidance from the FCC, but as a telecoms provider I'm quite concerned about the direction.
- refulgentis 5mo agoMay I submit you do see the reason, even, you named it? :) They are a user of a payphone, not subleasing a number that could be used for robodialing.
- singpolyma3 5mo agoAnd if they stand at the payphone and make scam calls for an hour and someone reports this and the payphone operator gets asked to identify this customer of theirs?
- refulgentis 5mo agoThey’ll say “Well it’s a payphone” and the court will say “yeah obviously the rule wasn’t written for all callers it’s KYC for people who resale numbers” and then you’ll say “but TECHNICALLY” and the judge will smile and say sir we’re not in the habit of absurd maximalisms, your interpretation is at its face untenable, hence your interest in avoiding the consequences of it.
- tardedmeme 5mo agoThen a police officer can visit the payphone and find out.
- singpolyma3 5mo agoIndeed. Well let's hope
