Telephone companies could note millions of calls and cut them off.

My gut reaction is that, somehow, the phone companies benefit from those
calls. For sure, the cell phone carriers do because they are burning
minutes for those on minute-limited plans. For land line carriers, I
would think that those calls serve a marketing purpose: selling people
like me on paying extra for CallerID/Simultaneous ring.


That's the way I feel about it.
Last I heard the Feds were telling the telephone companies to help
otherwise they would step in. Does not make any sense since Feds should
have been working with them.

Consider the numb-nuts in charge and that should explain why the Feds are a no-show.
