According to Internet News, "overseas telemarketers are quickly learning that they can use IP voice calls to "dial for dollars," getting around both traditional long-distance cost constraints and U.S. Do-Not-Call regulations to flood Internet traffic with phone calls that would make even the most egregious spammer blush."
Get ready for the deluge. The combination of reduced labor costs overseas and cheap phone cost that are a fraction of current costs could result in as many as 150 calls a day.
My favorite quote: "Technically, there is nothing you can do about it," Cohen said. "Pornography, gaming and spam are the biggest moneymakers on the Internet, and people who do marketing to reach customers and encourage them to spend money know this. So I don't see any way out."
