The Do-Not-Call List - New York Times

The Do-Not-Call List - New York Times: "If 150 million people agree that such calls are objectionable and unwelcome, and Congress is proposing legislation that will make registry listing permanent, why is it necessary to maintain a federal bureaucracy to track and manage opt-outs?

Congress should instead mandate that telemarketers may only contact those who have opted in to such communications, avoiding the necessity of expanded government involvement, and shifting the enforcement burden to marketers and the minority of Americans who wish to receive telemarketer calls.
