If you read the AT&T writeup on what to do with annoying calls here http://contact.bellsouth.com/acc/ you will see that every branch of this decision tree ends with "you should change your phone number", "you should notify FCC or authorities" or "it may be annoying, but it is probably completely legal and we can do any thing about it".
This connotes that the decision was made by AT&T to basically tell it's customers, "it's your problem, not ours".
