I don't know what exactly compels British commonwealth nations to have such dogshit telecoms but it is some kind of ingrained behavior they cannot escape Maybe it is fundamental to their culture. Something about hating communication? idk

caller id text is handled at the LEC's end thru a local lookup database. the lookup database is a mess of manual entries just like everything else in the phone network. I imagine that when it came time to talk about caller id standards for cellphones when they got to name all the telcos just went "noooope"

the lack of automation in telco networks because of their ancient tech is the most annoying thing. its why you can never get a circuit turned up the first time.

The engineering required to make a crossbar switch (and similar electromechanical systems) work is far more interesting to me than strictly digital systems. Those are boring.
