Sounds like the standard notice that all reputable ISPs are probably already giving. Given the very real potential for grandma and grandpa to pick a number off a list which looks like it is in their area code and end up with a multi-thousand dollar phone bill the next month, I'm surprised consumer protection folks haven't asked for such a requirement sooner.
I assume the NY AG will also be targeting enforcement of Domino's Pizza because they have lots of phone numbers and consumers may unknowingly dial a phone number to order a pizza which may be a toll call in their area.
The difference between a call to Dominos pizza and browsing the Web is that you usually don't make 200+ calls / month averaging 20 minutes in length to order pizza. If you do, I think you have an eating disorder! ;) -- Vice President of N2Net, a New Age Consulting Service, Inc. Company http://www.n2net.net Where everything clicks into place! KP-216-121-ST
