Unfortunately, there's a constant battle about who had jurisdiction to regulate calls coming from out of state, so calls that cross state lines remain in a gray area.

And yes, the recorded calls are increasing. And it's because if a company gets your name in some sort of "legitimate way" (i.e., some thing you signed up for once had "we can and will sell your name to anyone and everyone for the next several millennia" burried in their terms), they can call you...unless you tell them to take you off their list. Can't tell it to a machine. Bastards.
