Unless the U.K. is planning on no longer accepting email from outside its borders it will be largely moot (they will impose some costs on in country spammers as they move operations).

You top off that legislation to deal with popups as well and I'll be first in line at the pickle and cheese sandwich cart.

With a phone call though typically your cost will go up (probably signficantly) if you have to start making it from another country. Email doesn't suffer from an increase in price based on where you send it.
