Why spoil what might otherwise be a fairly decent piece of work with a
blatantly nonsensical claim like this? In the UK, the only time I am
required to identify myself as the publisher of something is when I publish
election literature for a local, national, or European government election
Depends upon your definition of 'publication'.
If you use your phone for commercial calls you are not legally entitled to
withhold CLI . I remember a very interesting discussion some years ago in
uk.telecom
about the actual procedure required to get/force phone companies to withdraw all
phone services from the offender if they withold CLI. As witholding CLI is
pretty
much a de facto standard for the vast majority of UC phone calls and the vast
majority of recuitment agencies - they are all risking the removal of all
telephone
services if a complaint is made (correctly).
Evidently the same goes for commercial FAX (but I have no corroboration on
this).
Quite simply electronic communication (phone fax etc) is reasonably clear and
if you know how (and are a persistent sod) can be applied with little cost.
Email will have safegards within the EU but enforcement is not something
that joe public will have any real input in. (one law for the rich etc).
