| I doubt it'd get that bad. I can see overseas telemarketers skirting the US's Do-Not-Call list and making long distance/international calls on the cheap using VoIP. However, I don't think that the amount of these calls will go from 0 to 150 per day overnight.
Instead, I'd expect to see these occur bit by bit with an increasing frequency. Eventually, though, the volume would increase to the point that home and business users would demand a solution from their phone companies. Unlike spam e-mails, these would be relatively easy to block. Just record the phone number of the telemarketer and block it. (Anonymous call blocking plus a whitelist would work too.)
