w00t! FTC establishes national "do-not-call" list!!

Actually, the problem a lot of people have, is this national list isn't as restrictive as some other state's lists. I know people in Indiana have a better list then this one. I'm not sure if this nullifys all state lists or not.

In about four months, consumers will begin registering for free online or by calling a toll-free number. To avoid an unmanageable flood of registrations, initial sign-up by phone for the national "do not call" registry will be phased in, region-by-region, over a two-month period.

Can't quite register yet.
 
Some businesses are exempt from the TSR and can still call you even if you place your number on the registry. (These include long-distance phone companies and airlines, and insurance companies that operate under state regulations.)

nuts.

<shrug> it's a start. You can tell each of the above to place you on the do-not-call lists they're required to maintain. Do this every time a telemarketer calls you and it will cut down the number of calls very quickly.
 
I wonder.

The "can call you if you request info" thing seems like a loophole to me. What's stopping telemarketers from claiming you called them first? Do they have to prove it with some sort of telephone log?
