   About two decades ago I was tangentially involved with a volunteer   
   ambulance agency which was petitioning the FCC for a waiver to allow   
   it to get "blocked" caller ID.   
      
   They argued they were similar to a "911 PSAP", and getting the caller   
   ID would help in emergency response.   
      
   (They, like many other EMS and volunteer fire departments of that   
   time, used "regular" 7 digit numbers.  A hefty chunk of them have   
   since been hooked into regional "911" systems, but lots are still self   
   standing).   
      
   As part of their pleading, they brought up the earlier request of   
   "Insight 100", an industry group of universities, hospitals, and   
   similar agencies, which got a waiver on caller ID blocks for calls to   
   the public safety offices, emergency departments, and the like.   
      
   The "Insight 100" name came about because many of these places were   
   using the Nortel DMS 100 phone switch.   
      
   I'm in the middle of a thankless battle, trying to help a local   
   hospital with a caller ID number/name mismatch, and would _love_ to   
   get some heavyweights to give us a hand.  Especially since this is   
   likely a pretty common issue.   
      
   To my suprise I can't seem to find any current info on "Insight 100".   
   I've written to a couple of the specific facilities in the FCC filings   
   from 20 years ago but none have gotten back to me.   
      
   Thanks for any assistance.
