- [The question is whether Pac Bell will ship CLID data via SS7 links to
- LD carriers for out of state delivery.]
-
- I doubt it. The biggest obstacle to long distance CLID delivery isn't
- technical. It's money. The local telcos claim on the one hand that
- the CLID data they can provide to LD carriers on their originating
- calls is valuable and proprietary stuff and the LD carriers should pay
- them for it. On the other hand, the CLID data passed from an LD
- carrier to a terminating telco is just part of the standard set of SS7
- features and should be passed along for free. I imagine the LD
- carriers have a somewhat different view.
-
- So this means that you're not likely to get CLID any time soon on
- calls that aren't carried end-to-end by your local telco. Within the
- US, I haven't heard of any reports of CLID being delivered across a
- LATA boundary. (Note that LATA boundaries are largely unrelated to
- area code boundaries. In particular, 201 and 908 are the same LATA.)
