Waste of time
Nothing the government(s), or industry can do is going to stop the spam problem. Even most antispam products are having an increasingly harder time achieving the same results they were seeing just a few short months ago. For every 1 person working to fight spam and control it, there are at least 10 spammers working on new methods of evading detection and sneaking past filters and security checks. And with the rise in popularity of SMS and VOIP techoligies, they will soon be plagued with the same type of crap that fills inboxes the world over. As long as money can be made by spamming (emails, text messages, voicemails), people will continue to do it. Find a way to remove money from the equation, and spam disappears. Nothing short will do, and legislation by the governemtn of ONE country regarding traffic on a GLOBAL network, is going to have no real effect on the problem.
