Providing I have the numbers correct, $2,200,000,000,000/$500=4,400,000,000 junk faxes. That's bookoo dollars in telephony services, equipment depreciation, and untold lost opportunities. 4.4bil in junk faxes.

I do think the suit has merit, but, as someone observed earlier, Cox would probably go bankrupt/file for bankruptcy far in advance of the issuance of a judgement against Fax.com/Cox Comm.

Would it be too extreme to make the following analogy? Let's say that all of a sudden the 911 ,411, local and state police departments, fire departments, etc.. telephony systems became fair game for automated telemarketing-related calls. It would cause quite a dangerous environment, would it not? What do you think?

I did notice that Kirsch and gang are actually seeking $1500 per fax, $1000 higher than the Cali $500 minimum per fax. That may be a bit over the top.

Kirsch, who founded Infoseek Corp. before it was acquired by Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS - News), and now heads Propel Software Corp., has launched a Web site, www.junkfax.org, to tell people how to get off fax marketers' lists.

To the Winbloze users out there: Has anyone tried the Propel Accelerator for DUNs yet? I think it's rather good and at the price they want per month for it, affordable for those without broadband access. The trial version does leave some nasty little reg entries(as does most 'dose software) after uninstalling the program, so be on the look out after removal.
