This is a classic regulatory capture. Now that there is a standard number that has to be serviced there will be more demand for the companies providing these services. They in turn get more volume of data to sell off to the brokers.

That's not what regulatory capture is, much less classic.

Data from these numbers is protected by HIPAA and callers can voluntarily be anonymous.

Don't be so sure about that:

You can't anonymize your phone number which is all a data broker needs to connect to your identity.

Callers need to exercise a fairly high level OPSEC to maintain anonymity. If you aren’t using some VOIP service, there’s a good chance your call will be traced and the cops will be at your door anyway.
