Hey, we could even build a system where DNS can be used to take any
phone number and look up data about it, not just a name, but even
a URI to redirect calls to for it, a source of presence info and
more.

What a great idea!   Unfortunately, since phone numbers are
believed to be owned by telcos and not by individuals, such
a system would probably make the mistake of delegating control
over the numbers to the telcos, who would feel no particular
motive to help people bypass what they sell, and so I predict
it will languish for a long time with no real deployment in the
USA.

Yeah, late reply here.

If ENUM were viable, this concept already exists for the most part, 
at least in draft form:


 http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-enum-cnam-05.txt

However, I don't believe for a second (though I did years ago) that 
ENUM will ever leave the control of the carriers, as you also 
insinuate.  I'm singing to the choir, though, since you already have 
a Freenum/ISN dialing method (http://www.freenum.org/) for your 
organization, Brad.  Encouragingly, the ISN dialing method does scale 
quite well for the CNAM-type data to be put in the DNS with the CNAM 
extension draft referenced above, unlike E.164 which is more 
cumbersome, to say the least.


In other news:  I'm looking for an inexpensive CNAM provider via 
HTTP.  Low volume at first, but probably ramping up a bit over time 
to a few thousand lookups a day.  Anyone out there providing this 
service with a "low friction" business model?

(also note, i understood they were wanting to build a new system, not

everytime you make a dns request, i agreed that it does not hit the root 
servers, but every time you request a NON-cached one you DO.


so maybe your call center calls the same people every other day.  

ours do not, and i'm just guessing here, but i have to think that others

Well, at one time Google got a large telno to name database.  I don't know if
they have updated it.  They can certainly afford to.  There are other web sites
that do reverse number lookups as well.

Still, starting with their database seems a good choice.  They might not
like you scraping it at once but a thousand * boxes pulling records one call
at a time is not something they are going to be bothered by.

If this, combined with other info from other sources (including contributions
from people who have CNAM) builds a workable database, you will eventually
get the LECs contributing their data to it.   People want their name to show
up correctly.  If millions start using a database, the LECs will want their
data in it, especially if entry is free or near free for bulk entries.

Re: [asterisk-users] Open CallerID Database?

C F, your method is technically feasible. I thought of it over a year
ago but never posted it because it would definitely be considered an
abuse by most providers. If a lot of people start using it, I expect we
would start seeing TOS for PSTN and voip alike to start changing. Of
course the best thing that could happen is for CNAM database access
costs to become a lot more reasonable. My pots line is with a small
rural ILEC who depends on verisign for CNAM matters. My guess is that
they pay a high rate and a large number of unanswered calls from
different numbers would be noticed. I get the impression that the CNAM
system has an air of gangsterism and racketeering about it.

2007-02-19 Thread C F

First my two cents. I dont think creating a system to store the info
is a good idea mostly because of the reasons mentioned in this thread.
An easy way to do free CNAM lookup, keep one pots line around with
caller id service on it for each non cached number that comes in make
a phone call to the pots line with caller id set to the number of the
unknown name, the caller id service on the pots line should reveal the
name after the first ring. cache that and reuse it as needed.

I don't know why they manage to get this level of control over the cnam database
so that they can charge a penny per lookup as well as monthly fees.  Does
anybody know how this happens?

Clearly some people buy the database at a good price.  Google for example
has it, and there are asterisk hacks to do google lookup (if you query a
10 digit phone number in google, you'll get not just name but address etc.)

Perhaps they are just paying.


One way to build a free database would be to simply have people share the
results of all sorts of searches.   People who pay for CNAM as end users,
for example, have signed no contract to not share the data.  So they could,
if trusted, forward those records to be stored in the shared database.
People who don't could take any number they get, and if it's not in the
shared database already, do a google query, and if that gives a result, store
that in the shared database.  (Also store negative results with a timestamp
so that you know that the google lookup provides no info.)


http://www.google.com/search?q=nn&pb=r

Eventually you would get a pretty good database, perhaps one big enough
that CLECs start wanting to update it directly?

Now there may still need to be something to pay for all of this, but
the fees could be much lower.   Charge fees for the latest copy or real
time query but just have the regular database out there for download
and local lookup.

Or perhaps just use the google api?

Re: [asterisk-users] Open CallerID Database?

2007-02-19 Thread Paul
At least the current system involves some qualification(CLEC status) and
some policing(regulators can revoke CLEC status). Why create a system
where setting your CNAM requires about as much validation as registering
a domain name? You need to consider that most of the free data from
sources like 411.com can't be legally used in such a database, even for
verification purposes. Read all the fine print before you get too excited.

I will agree that the traditional system is not flawless. For example,
the ILEC did not check my articles of incorporation to see if the
business name was valid. However, scammers who go so far as to rent
space and install business phone service are a lot easier to trace than
those who buy a SIP DID using a prepaid Visa gift card.

Re: [asterisk-users] Open CallerID Database?

2007-02-19 Thread Rob Schall
It seems like an interesting idea, but if this would be a public user
updated 411, who would ensure that was more up to date than 411. If the
numbers are off from 411, then the phone provider isn't keeping the
records properly. A customer should be notifying the phone company when
they are moving, etc, so when people want to find their business via
411, it should resolve correctly. If a customer does make that change,
unless they, or another user who knows of their change, updates the
public user run DB, then it will be outdated in no time.

Seems like you would want some type of hybrid. Have a weekly check of
all the submitted numbers and look for any changes in 411. If that
updates, then the user's information would be updated, and the person
who submitted it would be contacted. Although I still think 411 would
remain more up to date, it probably would be better than just relying on
a group of users to keep businesses information up to date.

Our CNAM provider claims to have more than 196 million entries.  I  
just don't think you could reliably maintain that in this format.


Let's say I'm a CLEC and I have 40,000 numbers.  I want to update that  
in one place (my SCP, probably).  I wouldn't also want to update  
another database through another method.

Hey Shane,
The basis of my idea was that it would be user-moderated/generated. A
'owner/operator' of a number, would submit & verify their phone number,
enter their caller id, and basically be done with it. The logistics of it I

Right now, we're using a commonly available script (I can't remember the

it works pretty good, it is horribly inaccurate the majority of the time.

Sounds like a great thing to have, but I doubt this is possible without
violating existing laws. At least in Europe there are some quite
restricting rules concerning the storage and transmission of
people-related data. Without explicit permission you might not be
allowed to transmit people's "unlisted" phone numbers, for example.

I think terms of service for most CNAM providers prohibits sharing the
data and limits the amount of time it can be cached for your own reuse.

A public database managed by users would be of little value unless there
are means to verify the data. If people trusted it, outbound
telemarketers might try to put "friendly" CNAM values in.
