Awesome!
....And a bill currently in the house attempts to ban spam to wireless devices
(HR 113):
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d107:hr113:
The summary: "Wireless Telephone Spam Protection Act - Amends the
Communications Act of 1934 to make it unlawful for any person to use any
covered mobile telephone messaging system to transmit an unsolicited
advertisement. Prohibits the Federal Communications Commission from exempting
from certain telephone regulatory requirements any call that violates such
prohibition. "
