PI Phone Enters Specialized Telecom Market with Caller ID Spoofing Service
New York-based Mattison & Rosenthal Inc is offering caller ID spoofing service, called PI Phone, to private investigators and law enforcement.
Caller ID spoofing is used in investigations and fugitive recovery.
The service allows an investigator to make calls under false pretense in order to elicit specific information from a subject.Caller ID spoofing emerged in 2003 and is being marketed as a niche service for private investigators and law enforcement.
Private investigators most commonly use the service for what is known in the business as "pretext calling."
A pretext call is one in which information is solicited over the phone by an investigator calling under a deceptive pretense.Concerns have been raised about the legality of caller ID spoofing and pretext calling.
However, FCC spokeswoman June Taylor recently commented that caller ID spoofing services are not illegal.
Additionally, Joel Winston, Associate Director of the FTC Division of Financial Practices, in an interview with PI Magazine, said "the PI industry as a whole is not an area about which we have any particular concerns."
The focus of the interview was pretext calling in the context of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.Some are apprehensive regarding the use of caller ID spoofing in identity theft.
PI Phone, unlike competitors, has elected to make its service available exclusively to licensed private investigators and law enforcement in an effort to eliminate the possibility of abuse.Tim Mattison and Ben Rosenthal, both of whom graduated from the University at Albany, founded Mattison & Rosenthal Consulting Inc in January 2004.
Mattison earned a B.S. in Computer Science in 2000 and worked for three years for a company that makes video encoding firmware for satellite television hardware.
Rosenthal graduated in 2003 with a B.A.
in Information Science and Policy.
The company is privately held..
Best Debt Reduction Service
There was a time when incurring debts was looked down as one of the worst crimes ever. People were punished for not repaying within the stipulated time. Charles Dickens' s father spent months in a debtor's prison because he was unable to pay off his debts. With other ghoulish crimes taking center stage, debts have become a commonplace now. However, sinking in debt has increased with the introduction of newer and scientific temptations.
Credit cards are the most popular and the worst temptation. All of us feel rich all the time because of these plastic cards. We hardly realize the pains we have to go through once it is paytime.Anyway, don't get too worked up if you have bills flying in from all directions.

The Internet Phone
What is VoIP? VoIP is an acronym for voice over internet protocol. A VoIP, in essence, is a computer phone that allows you to make phone calls from your computer to anyone in the world, e.g., PC to PC, PC to landlines, or PC to cell phones. The voice signal converts to data packets and travels across the internet through a VoIP platform, and then converts back to voice at the receiving end of the communication exchange. There is no delay in conversations / communications with 3WTel VoIP. Leading telecom experts are projecting that 75% of the world's communications will be done on VoIP within the next several years.
What Kind of Equipment do I need? you will need a computer with internet access and an inexpensive microphone if your computer does not have one built in. Although most VoIP providers require high speed internet connections, 3WTel offers VoIP on dial-up, DSL, and broadband connections.
How Can I Place Calls or Receive Calls? basically, the same way you would...

M.I.T. Enterprise Forum of Chicago Delves Beyond Intellectual Property into ?Ownable Distinction?
While the topic of intellectual property (IP) is often talked about and largely misunderstood, a company's IP is only half the battle in carving out market command, according to a local panel of IP experts.
A compelling new notion called "ownable distinction", which is being used as a powerful business tool to fully leverage corporate IP, was debated last week at the April gathering of the MIT Enterprise Forum of Chicago.In reality, IP is a poorly understood "legal fiction," according to Darren Cahr, a partner with the Chicago office of Gardner Carton & Douglas LLP and one of three MIT Enterprise Forum panelists. An intangible asset, a company's intellectual property is nothing more than a "piece of paper saying you have a right to defend it," Cahr said.On the other hand, applying the concepts of ownable distinction (OD) to its intellectual property is how a company gains and holds a strong position in the market. With OD, a company has the ability to ultimately create a market...

Movie Review - Cellular
Cellular - 2005 New Line Productions Inc.I had a chance to watch Cellular the other day and my first thought was that here we go with another spin-off of Phone Booth, another movie with someone forced to stay on the phone for 90 some minutes while we cringe in our seat. But, to my surprise , this was actually a very enjoyable movie. I'm am not really sure what genre to classify this movie in because it has it all. Suspense, drama, action, comic relief; this movie has everything.The movie begins with the kidnapping of Jessica Martin, played by Kim Bassinger.Jessica is a high school science teacher, (that happens to wear fishnet stockings!!) who has her home broken into and mysteriously taken away to an unknown location by the "bad guys" and placed in an attic. They smash the phone hanging on the wall and proceed to lock Jessica in the attic.
Jessica then "rigs" the broken phone (remember - she's a science teacher) and is able to randomly dial a phone number. Now enters Ryan, played...

What?s new with Cellphone Cameras?
Mobile telephones have progressed a long way from their humble beginnings as the analog "bricks" of the 80's as technology has offered increasingly more complex features and options. Once no more than just a phone, now the average new cellphone has more on-board processing power than the combined computing power used to land men on the moon. Miniaturization, modern programming, and constantly improving technology driven on by a hungry market means that the cellphones of today are not just a phone, or even an organizer, but instead, they are a centralized multimedia platform. They offer many of the same advanced features as a PDA, like Bluetooth, flash card compatibility, radio, and fully featured integrated digital cameras. Much like the cameras found on PDAs, the digital photography offered by multimedia phones is not brilliant, but rather better suited to casual photography of friends at opportune moments.
The advantage of having an integrated cell-camera is that as a phone...

A Look at Edible Fruit Baskets
By their very nature, all fruit baskets, especially the original ones, qualify as edible fruit baskets. After all, when a fruit basket was filled with nothing but fruit, by definition everything in them was edible and therefore qualified as an edible fruit basket. But with today's more competitive marketplace, fruit baskets have grown to include much more than food items. In an attempt to differentiate them from fruit baskets that contain non-food items, the term edible fruit baskets was born...

Ordering Flowers
As former florists, we witnessed all too often "Order Gatherers" taking advantage of consumers. These companies even purchase ads in your local yellow pages. They buy sponsored ads in major search engines online. They create websites that lead you to believe that they are a local florist. These companies often work in a call center, far removed from the recipient of your flower gift.
These companies will process your $60.00 floral arrangement order and pass it on to a local florist at a...
