The graphic on page 9 suggests we're looking at a near-300% YoY increase in consumer complaints in 2004, and ICTSIS highlights the growth in automated marketing voice spam. Page 12 contains an extensive list of fines and access bars imposed on a raft of unusually-named operators. (http://www.icstis.org.uk/icstis2002/pdf/icstis_quarterly_summer_2004.pdf)
