This issue seems to follow the same pattern as email spam...
I think the trend will be to start implementing more and more black and =
white lists, and ultimately forwarding suspect calls to voice mail (just =
like how you have to clean up your spam folder)
Fortunately as we move towards smart phones this shouldn=92t be =
technically feasible. (we have androids (as in google android OS) now to =
battle the robocallers!)
