National Do Not Call Registry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Starting October 1, 2003, when the National Do Not Call Registry was first enforced, most telemarketers were required to remove the telephone numbers on the registry from their call lists. If you do not want to put your number on the national registry, you can still prohibit individual telemarketers, one by one, from calling by asking them to put you on their company’s do not call list. Even if you put your number on the National Do Not Call Registry, a company with which you have an established business relationship may call you for up to 18 months after your last purchase or delivery from it, or your last payment to it, unless you ask the company not to call again. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Do_Not_Call_Registry   (676 words)

National Do Not Call Registry is BLOCKED - Current Events Just days before the National Do Not Call registry was going into effect, a federal court has ruled that the FTC regulation is illegal. The Do Not Call registry would have blocked telemarketers from calling people who did not wish to be bothered with sales pitches by phone. Lawmakers are reassuring the public that the no call list WILL go into effect soon, and that they will pass the appropriate laws so that there is no question in court that the no call list is fully legal. www.bellaonline.com /ArticlesP/art13257.asp   (341 words)

The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a measure that creates a national "do not call" list for telemarketers.

03-1429 -- Mainstream Marketing Services Inc. v. Federal Trade Commission -- 02/17/2004 The national do-not-call registry is a list containing the personal telephone numbers of telephone subscribers who have voluntarily indicated that they do not wish to receive unsolicited calls from commercial telemarketers. The FTC estimated the costs of implementing and enforcing the national do-not-call registry at $18.1 million for fiscal year 2003. Therefore, we hold that the registry fees are a permissible regulatory measure designed to offset projected expenses incident to the administration and enforcement of the national do-not-call list, not an unconstitutional revenue tax. www.kscourts.org /ca10/cases/2004/02/03-1429.htm   (9260 words)

Federal Communications Commission to Enforce National Do-Not-Call Registry After lawsuits were filed by The Direct Marketing Association and others objecting to the list, a federal district court judge in Oklahoma last week ruled that the FTC did not have the authority to initiate a national do-not-call registry. However, late last week, another federal court in Colorado ruled that the FTC's do-not-call registry is unconstitutional on free-speech grounds because it applies to calls from businesses but not charities.

National "Do Not Call" Telemarketing Registry Though a judge ruled that the FTC lacked Congressional authority to create this national "do-not-call" registry, I strongly disagree and believe that earlier this year Congress explicitly granted the Commission both the authority and the funding to create the registry. That said, this bill will make it crystal clear that Congress endorses, supports, and authorizes the FTC to create a national "do-not-call" registry. Wisconsin recently implemented a similar, statewide do not call list last year. www.senate.gov /~kohl/press/statements/2003925B01.html   (482 words)

National Do-Not-Call Registry Overwhelmed by Eager Public She also noted that consumers have plenty of time to sign up for the registry before it becomes active on Oct. 1; they also can sign up after the registry is running.

The registry, a joint effort by the trade commission and the Federal Communications Commission, allows consumers to avoid being called by many telemarketers. www.nytimes.com /2003/06/28/technology/28CALL.html?ex=1372132800&en=cd8d8bd8c4a057f7&ei=5007&partner=USERLAND   (555 words)

U.S. court blocks anti-telemarketing list - Sep. 24, 2003 "On Feb. 13, 2003, the Congress passed the Do Not Call Implementation Act, which authorized the FTC to collect fees from sellers and telemarketers to implement and enforce the provisions relating to the do-not-call registry," Muris said. In response to the ruling, the FTC said it had asked a court to stay the decision blocking its popular "do not call" anti-telemarketing list while it appeals the case. The FTC argued that the creation of the registry is a correct interpretation of Congress's orders to prevent abusive telephone marketing practices, because the FTC considers calls to a number on the registry abusive. money.cnn.com /2003/09/24/technology/ftc_donotcall?cnn=yes   (965 words)
