FTC Moving To Restrict Telemarketers

Date: January 23, 2002

ABSTRACT: The Federal Trade Commission announced plans for a mandatory "do not call" list, a plan that carries significant fines for calling phones that have asked not be bothered. Industry groups, as might be expected, have a strong preference for the current self-administered system.
