There'd be nothing to prevent competitors from complaining, just to damage the other company. So the companies would be forced to ignore any complaints that they couldn't attest to being real, which means they might end up recording all your calls in a way that's accessible to all their employees (on top of whatever the government black boxes do now).

It would be a bad result if it went that way, which it surely would.

I don't know what their data peering is like to make spoofed calls untraceable, but it's as bad as a generic web site. You'd think they could implement stuff like with email (DKIM signatures) between the big carriers, so they could cooperate to eliminate spam on each others' networks. But I have a feeling they can already tell where it comes from.

First off I failed to say verified telemarketer, no as for going after telemarketers is as easy as you making a coffee. Carriers can and have trace who and where a call comes from providing you provide the day and time of call. They will not because telemarketers pay well and are great customers. Just the other day I got a robo call saying my auto warranty has expired. I sat through the crp till I got a real person and with my social engineering attack learned the company was Liberty Bell Auto Protect after witch I reported Liberty Bell Auto Protect for Telemarketing. So if the Federal Trade Commission wants to stop the "verified" telemarketers then go after to company's who hire them.
