Well just when you thought you had SPAM under control with your IP Filters, change of email address, and SPAM Blockers here comes SPIT. But this is not the organic type, no this is a real threat and a much bigger problem. What is SPIT, well it is SPAM over IP Telephony. Basically they are sending you unwanted adds. But the Do Not Call Lists do not go there. And the SPAM law is not applicable to VoIP.

This is very bad news for those who have switched to VoIP to save money on their long distance service. As the SPIT comes in, each one takes about a minimum of 30 milliseconds or more and thus could disrupt your phone service. Some estimate that you could get between 40-100 SPIT per day and then you would have to erase these voice messages and listen to the very first part before dumping the call. This takes much longer than hitting the delete button for SPAM.

Not good at all and worse it could be a while before we have a legal definition of SPIT from the FTC and that means do not expect any Do Not SPIT Lists anytime soon. Why can’t we do like Singapore where there is not spitting allowed, you SPIT we cane you? Think on this.
