I still think the simplest way to get rid of spam calls is to charge a small fee for each call, perhaps 5 or 10 cents but instead of the money going to the telco have it passed through to the person being called. For people who are friends, family or who call each other back and forth it will basically cancel out over time. But it would put the spam callers out of business.
