Yeah, after like a decade or more of inattention. Even if they somehow block all robocalls, it's going to be years before people begin to trust their phones again, if ever.
They (telecoms and regulators, all) really screwed up hard on this one. I have to wonder who really benefitted from this broken status quo, besides the spammers themselves.

It's helped me arrive at the conclusion that phone communication is largely an unnecessary luxury. Of course, I believe that having the option of calling someone important to me (or receiving their call) in an emergency situation is difficult to overrate but I've also pretty much entirely limited my verbal phone conversations to that sort of situation. Just about any other situation where I might be expected to have / use my phone is actually a problem with the other party's expectations.
