One of the comment threads on a VoIP prediction column at Voxilla.com added a new item to the prediction list:
11. VoIP Spam As Asterisk hits it big and other systems start to accept VoIP calls from anybody (possibly because of ENUM-routed calls), the #$%^&*& spammers and telemarketers will start to use VoIP for their messages.
Ah yes, our friends the telemarketers.
Asterisk is an OSS PBX solution that runs on a number of platforms including MacOS X. Given call queuing and adoption of ENUM, it won't be long before the telemarketing community starts buying and selling IP phone lists and then things will get a bit crazy.
This ought to stand the whole Do Not Call controversy on its head.
