I would think that giving a callsign would be a matter of just plain courtesy with or without the law. When you pick up the phone to talk, especially with a business who may not know you, do you just start talking, or would you say, "Hi, this Jimmy, I wonder if you could tell me, etc......". IMHO, you should give a call in the beginning, at the required intervals, then at that the end of the QSO.

K4CAR, this is KD9XXX (could even use the word "over" if you wanted to follow military protocol)

"This IS K4CAR, HI Bill......................."

Then sign out at the end.

Just sounds like common sense to me.
