I have a list of 250,000 people here (scraped off web sites) to whom
I'd just love to make recorded phone calls.  Can I use your protocol
to ask them all if it's OK?  If not, why not, and how are you going to
stop me?

Using a Turing test (CAPTCHA) for example.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha

When you make a request, the target phone returns a captcha. If you
don't provide the right solution, the target user won't even see your
request, it will be dropped. Captcha's difficulty can be adaptively
tuned by the target phone..

So another step should be added to the above description.

I hope this answers your question!

pars
