I'm surprised someone doesn't come up with a consortium for all the
asterisk users to poll a central location or does the data come with
restrictions about sharing the data?

Duane from e164.org says he's already built the application you are
looking for to deal with Australian databases if that helps.

Thanks for looking into this further Kevin.
I guess this knocks a 'formal' asterisk asp sharing agreement on the head.

I can understand why they have done this but also sucks for people installing 
asterisk using this.

At least the formal data sets are documented so a module for lookup prior to 
calling can be checked against.

I haven't checked as this isn't my space but I guess anyone offering predictive 
dialers to asterisk is already building this into their product offerings (or 
coding as we speak).

I know in Australia there was a company setting up a database for dnc
list in Australia but I've never heard of one here.

Because of the fiduciary risks involved I imagine it would need to be a

 before calling it?

May I recommend reading
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/alerts/alt129.htm

and
https://telemarketing.donotcall.gov

For more than 5 area codes, you will have to pay to access the data - it
seems you can download number lists then to compare to your customers
phone numbers list. 5 or less area codes are free.

If you call nationwide prepare to pay some 17k$ for the lists for all
area codes.
