Long distance isn't an issue, considering most telemarketing is done by a few large, international companies. Being so, they have made use of the latest technology, VoIP over Satellite in South America for instance, which makes international long distance a concern of the past.
As far as Spam goes, it comes from everywhere, but what I've noticed lately is the biggest lot that gets through my ISP's filters is in Cyrilic, which sounds to me like a design issue, but, I could be wrong.
I can't be held responsible for providing the information, all I did was copy and paste, not a big feat. In addition, the information is readily available on the Internet, it's how the information is used.
Exactly the same game with SPAM and E-Mail, E-Mail addresses are readily available on the Internet, through search engines, or whatnot, but, not everyone will harvest them for mass E-Mail purposes.
