This argument was based on the fact that internet transmissions are not considered telecommunication services.

Not to offend the original poster of this commentary, but the legislation is being inappropriately applied.

that said, I still don't agree with the verbage as it does apply to telecommunication services as it would prohibit the *67 feature to block caller ID info. I do agree with the intent which was to stop anonymous telemarketers, hence permitting you to actually use these privacy services to block them.

The telecommunication service is defined as service provided for a charge that originates a transmission (data, voice, etc). Honestly, it look like it is talking about stealing service (Wardriving!!!), not the usage of the existing service (VPN, NAT, etc), which is not discussed.
