Telemarketers have found a way to bypass the U.S. Do Not Call List.  Instead make the calls from overseas.  With the increasing popularity of VoIP, making a transition across seas is made easier.  Companies no longer need to lease LAN lines to make calls, the same internet connection that is used to surf the web is used to make phone calls.  There isn't any long distance.  Companies have figured this out and are planning to take advantage of this loophole.  Cold-calling and telemarketing may come back into play as we know it, but with the aid and resources from across seas. 

It's amazing how technology has allowed the world to circumvent in the most difficult times.  Everyday there is something new and something old.
