I think it should work where each robocall costs $5. But the carrier that delivers it is insuring against the person it's delivered to. So for example. I get a robo-call, I report it and my carrier pays me $5. They then can collect that $5 from the carrier that delivered that call to them, who can collect it from the carrier that routed it to them who can collect it from the end user. And if at some point you can't collect you're stuck paying the $5.

That could work, though I’d suggest that requiring the recipient to have to report it doesn’t go far enough, especially when they registered on the do not call list a damn decade ago! How about if a robocall is delivered to someone on the do not call list, every carrier in the whole chain is automatically fined?

  Combining with the chaining idea: The first carrier is fined $10 going to the end user, they can go after the second carrier who is fined $10, half going to the end user (now at +$15) and half going to the first carrier (now at -$5), they can go after a third carrier who is fined $10, half going to the end user (now at $20), half going to the second carrier (now at $-5) and so on.
