Illegal Robocall Free with Trusted Caller ID
We propose to stop illegal robocalls to all phones connected to the public land and mobile networks through technology surrounding Caller ID. Calls with valid Caller IDs are put through. Legal calls, including legal robocalls, will all have valid Caller IDs and so will complete normally. Calls with invalid IDs, including illegal robocalls, will be blocked. Illegal robocalls with valid IDs can be reported and traced back to the caller, and the caller prosecuted.

Louis,
What about the spoofed caller ID's, are you proposing that the caller ID feature be fool proof?

I'm not sure I know what "foolproof" means for caller ID. I'm proposing that the terminating switch know whether or not the caller ID is or might be spoofed.
