You grossly oversimplify the process. I do not think it's the governments job to fix privately owned companies problems. It is the problem of AT&T, Verizon, etc. They should fix the problem and would if they were fined for each and every bad call that might be an incentive. The gov't would ensure that these companies do not charge the legit users for solving the issue.

What I don't understand is the fact that the FCC recently entertained the allowance of Robo calls to go directly to your voicemail. The reason they said it would benefit the public was the fact they would not have to answer their phone and they could retrieve it later on from voicemail. Somebody's getting something, for allowing this procedure to continue. I have written my Congressman numerous times and received no answer.. I'm just guessing that would less regulation now will never get rid of the Robo calls.
