Automated and recorded phone solicitation is illegal in California
and the majority of states. I'd be curious to see if they have
the same liability as ISPs or phone providers.

Pacbell has a Call Annoyance hotline at: 1800-698-7223.

If you get a spam call from these guys in California, make sure you report it.
They *love* cracking down on this type of thing.
