The FTC has released some information on the upcoming "Do Not Call" Registry

Comments:

The Denver judge was right. The Do-Not-Call list, as it's written, is unconstitutionally restricting free speech because it favors the non-business telemarketers and discriminates against the business telemarketers. To be fair and unbiased, it should be all-inclusive and block ALL callers. This is the telephone subscribers choice and decision, NOT the governments and the FTC should NOT be saying that some calls will be allowed through in spite of the phone subscribers choice. The law as it's currently written is completely toothless. If they still want to allow non-business callers, then the choice should be up to the phone subscriber and the FTC should have made TWO lists: one for partial blocking and one for full blocking. Personally, if there is something I want to hear from the civic or government agencies about, they'd be justified in using the Civil Defence Emergency Broadcast System and sirens to tell me, because if it's anything less than a natural disaster or bombs falling, I do NOT want to be called about it. I'm on the list, but I'm still letting my machine screen all calls. As for the cry-babies saying this and that telemarketing center is shutting down because of the 50 million signees, that's simply a crock of shit! The 50 million signees are the people who are MOST LIKELY to be yelling. "GET THE F**K OFF MY PHONE" when telemarketers call. They will be losing NO business by not calling those people and actually should be able to IMPROVE their sales stats by calling ONLY the people who were NOT pissed off enough to bother signing this list. Don't tell me that eliminating 50 million useless numbers from their calls won't be improving their call stats, because I don't believe it. I bet the telemarketers find they can make MORE money AFTER the list goes into effect.
