On: France to ban unsolicited telemarketing calls

[petu]

Phone number always belongs/registered to someone?

Alas, last time I checked numbers were something that was announced in-band, so it could be trivially faked by the caller. But I'm not sure if that's still true.

Spoofing a number can be a felony on it's own.

Even if there's no explicit laws around that, who's getting billed for the calls?
