No, I'm not making this up. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is going to hold an open contest for people who think they can engineer a solution to (illegal) robocalls.

This is a 50K winner-take-all contest; runners up get mentions but no cash prize. 50% of the scoring is based on producing a solution that actually works, as opposed to people just writing theory papers.
This is so wholly unlike the government that I'm sort of looking around for Allen Funt to pop out from behind a bush.
