If you're interested, there is a 45 page long PDF file that gives excruciating details on the issues that have to be resolved:

I am surprised any carrier would be against it, unless they are making some money on the robo-calls and telemarketers.

I would change carriers in a heartbeat if they can promise no more robo-calls or telemarketers calling me. I would thnk that would be a BIG marketing tool for them.
