It use to be if someone spit on you it was in grade school and some dumb kid spit, but these young and restless tikes have now grown up and they are actively involved in the computer industry. They are SPITing on you still, this time on your new VoIP Telephony Service. 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, thus they are in loophole land, just like in the oleschool yard days. What can you do to reduce SPITing? Well in this country we do not cane people like they do in Singapore and it will probably be nine-months until the Federal Trade Commission has a few committee/party meetings to draft a regulation and come up with a mission statement. Then another 3-months until they define what SPIT is. What does all this mean? Well it means all the people who signed up for Vonage VoIP service will get SPIT. So for those who switched to a new phone system for long distance for $29.95 per month are now going to wonder why. Can you imagine getting 100 Voice Mail SPITs per day and you have to listen to the beginning to delete them just to get your Voice Mail? Likewise the incoming wads of SPIT or batches of SPAM over IP Telephony could disrupt your telephone? Oh great, what will be next? We have SPAM, SPIT and next thing you know all we will have SH_T?
