E-mail spam is a problem because sending e-mail is basically free. It costs money to make a telephone call; why doesn't that wipe out the economic incentive? Are telephone calls too cheap? If so, why isn't a simple price increase the solution?
- dholowiski 14y agoAt volume, it's really close to free to make a phone call. Just like sending email - there is a cost (electricity, data, infrastructure), it's just extremely close to nothing.
