Good start. Next, put the people running these scam phone providers in jail.

How many are based in the US and subject to US-based prosecution?

Why can someone from outside the US make my phone ring? Why can't I opt out of calls sourced internationally? Seems like an easy way to fix the problem. There is no reason for anyone overseas to call me, and if someone US-based does phone spamming, we can prosecute them.

This would be awesome. Next step would be filtering out non-US IPs from any online content (including forum comments, videos, tweets, etc)
