The legislative fix I can see is putting a price floor on sending SMS and connecting phone calls. Require the carriers to charge for them. If it cost me a penny to make a phone call or send a text message, it would not impact me at all. However, all the bulk garbage would stop overnight, because the carriers would want their money, and at that price, spam won't scale.
