The devil will be in the detail.
1. Enforcement: How can I get the bona fides of a telemarketer and
subsequently take action? It seems some sort of subterfuge will have
to be employed on my part to let the perpetrator give away sufficient
information before I cry foul.
2. Compliance: The telemarketer must pay (if over 500 numbers are involved)
to have their call lists washed by the authority. Fine, leave the burden
of cost with the telemarketer. But how often will list washing be required?
The results of a wash today will be out of date by tomorrow. I wonder if
some clever sod will pay the $80,000 to wash a supposedly comprehensive
list of 100,000,000 numbers and then offer the service at a profit to
others.

Are there even 100 million phone numbers in use in this country?
