- Actually the PUC could order this and make it stand. The Network
- Interconnect package needed to allow SS7 interconection between the
- LEC and the IXC's makes provision for the calling number to be deleted
- from any IAM message sent to the IXC. This is true in every central
- office switch type I am aware of. This includes NTI, AT&T, and
- Ericsson.
-
- SWBT policy is that this feature is invoked in all central offices
- with SS7 interconnection to IXC's until calling number delivery is
- tariffed and sold in that CO and all subscribers have been fully
- informed (through bill inserts, etc.) of the impacts they will see.
-
- So the PUC could order this be done in PB-land and also require that
- PB negotiate with the switch vendors to insure the capability is
- retained from this day forward.
