ABSTRACT
Spam-over-IP telephony (SPIT) is likely to have a significant impact on the usefulness of VoIP telephony solutions. Several research groups have started to address this challenge and have suggested methods involving automatic call filtering. From a legal perspective, these solutions might be problematic, particularly because they're likely to suffer from false positives. Also, because of VoIP communication's real-time character, the legal assessment of SPIT filtering differs from that of email spam filters. The authors give an overview of these legal issues and provide guidelines for providers wishing to protect their customers from SPIT and other forms of unsolicited real-time communication.
