Well, probably the best thing would be to pass the information on to the 
Broadcasting Commission (or whatever the UK call it) and see what they have 
to say about it. There has been an almighty stink here about shows charging 
for phone calls to shows, and the calls actually having no effect on the 
voting, so shows like Strictly Come Dancing now have a rider on the 
announcement that calls after the closing time may still be charged, but 
will not be counted.

So it would be interesting to see what the commission has to say about this 
trick for increasing income.
