Actually it's going to be very difficult to blacklist VoIP spammers, 
you'd have to black list based on IPs not numbers, and even then the 
signaling host can be completely different from the media host, so all 
those trojans out there now supporting spammers of the email kind could 
perhaps get converted over to allow VoIP spam as well...

On the other hand VoIP spam is realistically a long way off except for 
companies like Free World Dialup, where sequential numbering has been 
issued...
