As far as I know, SPIT is theoretical only. At my old job I worked with VoIP product development, and worked on a VoIP quality analysis tool with a Maryland based company called Qovia. Their brass was having some drinks and discussing the need for some sort of press release. Their marketing director came up with the idea of SPIT. They had a good laugh, and then decided it could be interesting. They drew up a proposed solution, for a problem that did not exist, applied for a patent, and, voila, instant press release material!
So who has ever received a SPIT call?
