I suspect there's a certain amount of... emoluments... changing hands over robocalls. There's no way something the scale of call-every-North American-number sequentially robocallers aren't noticeable, trackable and stopable. I get between 2 and 7 robocalls a day, and I have for more than 5 years. The robocallers are on the verge of ruining the phone system for human communication, the same way Sanford Wallace ruined faxing, and spammers ruined email.

Someone's getting paid off. And it's not on the scale of a couple of rounds of bikini golf with 20-something junior marketers, either.
