I wish phone calls came with a verified (cryptographically) description of the route a call took to get to me. Then I could use a library/app to filter by source or by bad actor (providers that lie about the route). That would enable services like UBlock Origin, allowing for user-generated blocklists.


Great idea!

Local area number but traceroute to a call center in India? Automatically reject.

That'll also solve the issue of unusable corporate phone support because they outsourced it to save a few bucks.
