Slashdot - Call Someone Without Having To Talk To Them [TELECOM]

This is rather interesting, but why do I suspect it's just an invitation to large volumes of voice spam?

***** Moderator's Note *****

According to the article, this service offers callers a chance to leave a message on a cellular user's voice mail without risking actually talking to the person who owns the cellphone. However, before they can "bypass" the cellular user, callers must listen to an ad before they're allowed to leave a message: in other words, those who use the service can be _positive_ that they're wasting their time, instead of taking the chance that the cell-phone owner _might_ waste their time. Seems like a self-limiting paradigm.
