Well it took the FTC some 2-years to devise a plan to stop SPAM, then they came back with definitions only. SPAM went from a nuisance to a major problem and even with the Presidents CAN SPAM Act the FTC was impotent to enforce it. They filed some 60-cases, but SPAM comes from all over the World and people still get 200 per day, although most commercial filters get rid of a good percentage. Of course that was not the FTC that did that, it was Free Enterprise.

Now there is a new thing Called SPIT (SPAM over IP Telephony) which threatens to overwhelm VoIP Networks. The FTC where are they now? Probably in some back room playing with them selves after falling for one of those Viagra generic drugs from Canada online pharmacy SPAMs? Looks like more SPIT on face of Federal Trade Commission.

So far due to the FTC’s failure to keep up with industry and never actually finishing anything they start now we have SPAM, SPLOGS, SPIT, phishing and pharming? A person might get 100 SPITs a day on their VoIP system and render the system literally useless to users by causing disruptions in their phone service? So much for a Do Not SPIT List, it will take the FTC nine months just to define what S.P.I.T is, but they will not have to look far as it is not egg on their face, why it’s SPIT. So, think on it.
