Such a notion of Caller ID trials also seems to be premised on an all-too-unsceptical assumption about trials in general, and this kind in particular. It might also be observed that PUC approvals of this kind can involve an interest in ultimate buck-passing to the courts anyway. Thus, so much for the evils of "pre-deployment wrangling."
