Long Island Business News story on BellsterfwdOUT
Long Island Business News: Pulver ushers in 'Napster' for phone members (Subcription required).
"...Independent telecom analyst David Isenberg said that to his knowledge there are no legal barriers to the use of Bellster
"I'm not aware of any legal issues," he said. "Unlike a lot of consumer equipment, I don't know of any service agreement on the telephone network that says you can't forward calls. I don't think there's any fine print."
Isenberg, based in Cos Cob, Conn., also raised the possibility that Bellster could "mutate" into a disruptive technology.
"The law of unintended consequences looms large," he said."

Jeff,
So I see you dropped the "bellster" name but the alternative just happens to look like someone else using the "xxx-OUT" title ! We all know you are doing a great job, so please do not try to attract lawsuits!
By the way when Bell Canada was started it was indeed a part of the Great Ma Bell family. I think they went independent in about 1972, and maybe keeping the name was part of the deal. In the tech libraries there are still the old reference books labelled "Bell System Practices", which later became "BCP's".
Sincerely,
Mike.
