This begs a question. With the advent of voip and cheap or free long distance, this has become a real problem. When I was younger and the phone company was the only provider of phone service, meaning LD was expensive, the telemarketing calls and spam calls were very far and few between. A call a week to maybe a few per month was annoying, but for the most part tolerable. Now that anyone can call anyone else for nothing and spoof caller ID at will, this is a serious problem. If your number gets in the hands of these creeps, it can be several calls a day, every day.
Does anyone know if there are any plans to deal with this growing problem? Are governments, telco's, the private sector, or anyone doing anything to combat this rapidly growing problem?
