We also have policy problems. As previous commenters with experience in the industry point out, this problem is easy to solve. It’s not a technical problem, it’s a policy problem.

It’s not an ideals problem. Even very conservative economists would agree that there exists a negative externality in the transaction between the call center and the telecom company on the person being called where there should be some cost on the transaction to account for that externality.
