When will the government listen to the "will of the people" and just outlaw spam and tele-marketing (with severe enough penalties to deter)?
Ooops. I'm sorry. I had brain fart. I wasn't thinking that the lobbyists for keeping spam and tele-marketing around have deeper pockets than the poor users. Combined with the golden rule of capitalism: "He who has the gold makes the rules.", results in what we have today. I think that the do not call list will result in a new call list worth $$MM.
