Making cold-callers pay to reach you

[Deleted21704]

Pretty simple: if you know me, you get right through. If you're a stranger, pay $x to get through or leave a voice message.

I imagine this is most useful for executive office lines. I work as a business developer cold-calling for enterprise B2B sales, and people have just given up answering their phones because of all the crap they get.

You'd pay me for the service, but costs could be offset by the desperate few who pay to reach you

I've been messing around with some real-time web frameworks and telephony APIs and could make a working prototype in hours.

Thoughts?
