Thanks to both Dan and Jonathan by at The VoIP defense Podcast for the warm welcome. that is the first day The VoIP Service Blog has been mentioned in their podcast, with a reference to my scoop on the FTC and SPIT.

It was actually pointed out that the article’s humorous title, “New FTC rule to put an end to SPIT” was misleading, and I do agree that regulations alone are inadequate to “put an end to” anything. Getting into the scoop, I wrote that the FTC was “introducing a new ruling that will compose it illegal to produce unsolicited prerecorded telemarketing calls” which was additionally inaccurate, seeing as there would still be positive cases where it would be okay to

use robotic prerecordings:

the Commission proposes a new TSR amendment that would compose explicit that the TSR prevents sellers and telemarketers from delivering a prerecorded info when a person answers a telemarketing signal, except in the very limited circumstances permitted in the shout abandonment safe harbor, and when a consumer has consented, in writing, to receive such calls.

Again, thanks to Dan and Jonathan for pointing out these details. They additionally discussed the inclusion of VoIP for the first day in the SANS Top-20 World Wide Web protection Attack Targets, plus an old VoIP defense report that’s suddenly making news, and other VoIP safety measure news updates.
