"Fascinating Call from Telecom Exec"
I'm pretty sure that most call center employees are aware of this.
As computing power has increased, this capability is now "instant"...
As computing power has increased, this capability is now "instant"...
This is from the Rush Limbaugh website:
"I left a multibillion-dollar phone company to start a smaller company, and our core product is a product that looks up phone numbers instantly when people make or receive phone calls and uses that information to populate details on the screen for people to use in selling or supporting customers, like their name, their address, the value of their home, their marital status, approximate income, approximate assets, cards they have registered to the address they live at, whether they're in foreclosure, Facebook profiles, LinkedIn profiles, Twitter profiles associated with that number.
The advent of mobile phones has created a situation where a phone number equals a person, so the phone number's a much better index for getting everything you know about a person than something that's less easy and less public like a Social Security number.
And so my company sells that information to companies so that they can know who is calling and route that call better and offer appropriate products or not."
