The technological and legislative infrastructure required to turn this into a market far exceeds what would be required for simpler anti-spam measures. It comes across as unhelpful and detached, like suggesting world peace as the solution to gang violence in your neighborhood.
- nobodyandproud 7y agoWhat technical limitation? There is nothing simpler, except that some very well-funded special interest groups never want to see this happen. When I was on a limited plan, the amount of spam messages and calls were virtually zero because the limit would run up and be charged against the caller (internationally). The month I switched to an unlimited, I started getting spammed. Now much of the spam is domestic, but I fail to see how this is possibly unfeasible technically.
- weberc2 7y agoWhy should we artificially charge law abiding people for making a call? Why not disallow call spoofing? Why should we allow telecom fraud, especially when there are obvious technical solutions? And what well-funded SIGs are our to get your phone call tax plan?
- nobodyandproud 7y agoWhat’s artificial about it? Are you old enough to remember when calls cost money, and we didn’t have these problems?
- manigandham 7y agoPhone calls do cost money. Unlimited mobile calling plans are very recent, and many areas in the world are still by the minute and rather expensive.
