What happens when all the telemarketing jobs get exported to Ireland or India and our laws don't extend to them? And the calls continue cause we can't stop them

I expect then, we consumers will demand that our local phone service put us on a do-no-connect international calls list. How many of us typically get international calls. Ive maybe had five in the past ten years. If most people put their households on a do not accept international calls list, then internationally based call centers wont be economically viable either.

Oh, but they have 800 capability. Just ask GE who has exported thier collection efforts to India. Sorry, that don't work. And typically the internation call block is for outbound, not inbound.

Enforced by the U.N.? I guess you aren't aware that it's cheaper to call internationally than locally.
