Re: [asterisk-biz] Any Cellular Phone Related Businesses in CanadaInterested in Call Transfers?

Regarding questioning of ethics, the post certainly could have been interpreted as such, and I attest that I drew the same inference, although I don't recall an overt accusation.  So roar with laughter at me too.  I reread it to figure out how I got that impression, and found this...

  Are they going to pretend they are the X mobile >>> carrier? 

It's a question - about whether he plans to conduct a specific unethical practice.  Perhaps the writer didn't mean to question his ethics.

Candidly, Steve Totaro's idea raised my eyebrow, but after a moment of reflection it seemed perfectly reasonable to do what he is doing, particularly as his proposition unfolded.  Of course, much depends on the implementation details, but I see no reason to assume the worst.  And in fact, he is paying the freight for these calls that he didn't even solicit.  'tsawright by me...

About speculation, I suppose that would be akin to cybersquatting on a domain name, or maybe listing labtops for sale on ebay.  A shady, if not fraudulent practice with (distant) parallels to trademark infringement.  But I think it would require more premeditation than what has been ascribed to this situation.  It will be interesting to see what the regulations say, if brought to light.

Please turn down the flames.

So then what were you trying to say in your previous post?  People buy from telemarketers, spammers, door to door salesmen.  I would do none of that, I am simply answering a call that "they" initiated and could terminate at any time with no charge, it's toll free!  Thanks, Steve Totaro  On Thu, Jul 31, 2008 at 5:32 PM, C.

If you are questioning ethics, then state it.         

 You are saying that my question/s are implying that there are questionable ethics on your uniquely fantastic and terrific idea?  That's too funny... I tell you, I am roaring with laughter here...  there is no way that can be interpreted as such.
