That doesn't solve problems regarding marketing calls from overseas [1]
(but I accept your point that stalkees might prefer the message from
poorly configured [2] marketers over silence).
To merge the two trains of thought - presumably this new ruling will do
nothing to reduce poorly configured marketers calling from overseas?
Finally, I note that the relevant regulations [3] prohibit email direct
marketers from concealing their identity [4]. I wonder why this doesn't
apply to telephone calls (wrt CLI)? Perhaps the DTI didn't consider the
possibility that they might?
[1] Either with regard to the ability of the subscriber to receive
international CLI at all, or the ability of the authorities to regulate
their calling practices at all.
[2] In that they make more calls than their agents can subsequently
handle.
[3] Within jurisdiction, naturally.

Regulation 23.
