In the UK indigenous cold callers are once a month, low rent Indian based callers are three times a day. It's hard to see how local enforcement would help. I wouldn't like a penny on all incoming calls but it might be worth it.
- mattmanser 7y agoNot for me, I get robo called once a month. I've also had this phone number for over a decade, so it's been put into a lot of database now.
- dredmorbius 7y agoPSTN space is finite, tractable to exhaustive search (see "war dialing"), and recycled. Every number is harassed. Though this suggests one possible solution: a vastly increased number space. Bye-bye memorisation though.
- Nextgrid 7y agoLocal enforcement would penalise the carriers that deliver the garbage to you. They’ll figure out a solution to not interconnect with scummy VoIP providers used by the scammers.
- sethammons 7y agoThey wouldn't figure out how to avoid scummy VoIP callers, they would drop VoIP support.
- Nextgrid 7y agoThere’s no such thing as VoIP support, or rather, all telephony is now VoIP, even if not exposed to the consumer. Even good old analog PSTN is only analog up to a point before being converted to digital IP-based stuff.
