I realize that, however if a call is transferred from say someone
calling ABC Corp in the USA, and the call is transferred to tech
support in India using a IP phone, there is no international call
charge incurred.

Sure. Nifty application. I was involved with a start-up
where we made a LAN based, extensible, PBX. Each
unit had some number of analog trunks, a greater
number of analog extensions, and then voice and control
over IP. You could have IP phones as extensions or
VoIP and control to other units giving you a distributed
PBX. ...part of your distributed PBX could be here and
part anywhere else. Using the PSTN you could dial a
local number to get a local dial tone at the location of
your overseas office. neat.

I agree that international calling can be inexpensive.

The question is:
*In the context of telemarketing*, is the "do not call" law
enforceable?

I say yes because telemarketing calls will be able to be
effectively linked to firms with a domestic presence.

Side note for the twit: This is a very different question
than "can I call you from overseas whether you like it
or not".
