@Shadow .. Re: The rest of us are 100% sure it won't do a damned thing.
Its actually simpler than that.
Force the telcos and internet providers to offer a feature. *666 where it will report the last call to your number as a robo call. Then the phone company will look at the actual pen data and not the CID which can be spoofed while the actual number can't.
If it goes back to a SIP provider, the SIP provider will have to provide their IP logs so that the caller can be traced. (Assuming its a SIP call and not someone who set up an actual land line. Which would already be game over.)
When you trace back the robo call to its origin, you can now go after them regardless of the country and you can extradite them to the US because the US should be able to enforce the computer laws against them.
Only thing stopping them is loss of revenue ... anyone remember the pink sheet contracts ISPs had for spammers?
