RoboKiller has "answer bots" that do what you said. They just keep saying things like "hello? I'm sorry, I don't understand" etc.

Sure. So, let's see what's wrong with that... it's one feature of many, and they focus on the wrong one. Not big enough to make it ubiquitous or even a standard. Can't tap into the "everyone sets this up" level of authority the other two companies have.
You seem to think I was saying that I have this neat idea for an invention, and you're rebutting with "someone already thought of that".
I was describing "this needs to be a policy, if only a soft one, and only these two gigantic companies have the sway to do that". So you've totally misread things. It didn't click for you. That happen to you much? I guess I shouldn't ask, you wouldn't know even if that were the case.

Sometimes they're bad at communicating. Other times, they're at the zoo near the chimpanzee enclosure. If HackerNews ever has an interactive crayon drawing canvas, I can try again I guess.
Just looked up Robokiller...

Doesn't look like what I'm talking about at all. We don't want the calls to be blocked, we want them to linger on forever. I'm not sure why that's so difficult to understand.
