It was a fake name used to register the cell phone that was purchased with cash. I'm pretty sure they would have used their real name and real credit card when dealing with Rack Nine---- and those are the records I'd presume have been turned over.
"Service Provider" - sounds like arguing semantics. They provide the phone lines I would think they should be responsible for how they are used.

And while political parties are exempt from the DNC, I would think there would be something to actually verify that sort of thing.

While Rack Nine may not have had any knowledge of what was going on, I don't think that absolves them all responsibilities.

I hate thinking that there should be some sort of regulations (there is already far too much red tape in life) but there must be some way of deciding where the final buck is supposed to have stopped, and it seems to me some of the blame needs to rest with the company that actually allowed their equipment to be used for those purposes. They shouldn't be a scapegoat, but they need to bear some of the blame.
