In talking to a friend of mine he was of the opinion the existing do not 
call list is the best way to handle voice spam, regardless if it's pstn 
or IP.

DNC lists offers the ability to fine someone, weather it be those making 
calls, or the companies being advertised.

Alternatively blacklisting IPs would also be effective in either 
blocking such calls, and pressuring ISPs to swat offenders similar to 
efforts placed by blocking ISPs from increasing the cost of business for 
spammers is the key.
