I think you're conflating politician SPAM marketing and government body research.
They're both unsolicited and bulk. There's a rather blurry line between a government body research survey and a political message. Government bodies are run by politicians, after all. Being alerted that an incoming call is unsolicited and bulk before answering is a good thing for the consumer IMHO. If I'm busy I'll let it go to voice mail. If they actually care, they'll leave a message. If it's relevant I'll call them back at my convenience. If it's not, that's a minute or two of my time not wasted. The volume of unsolicited bulk phone calls today is such that many people simply don't answer the phone unless they recognize the CNAM or caller-ID. If you're running a legitimate outbound call center, be prepared to leave messages on voicemail. Maybe a display of "BULK CALL" instead of "SPAM RISK" would be a good compromise, but as a consumer I appreciate knowing in advance. -- Jay Hennigan - jay at west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
