By now I'm sure you have heard that various telemarketer organizations are fighting the do-not-call list in court. No surprise there. But I was greatly relieved to see that, despite their efforts to stop the list, certain of the new policies outlined in the do-not-call legislation will be enforced by the FCC. Among the rules that will go into effect:
Telemarketers will not be allowed to charge customers' credit cards or other accounts without the customer's permission. --from a CNN story
I do hope that this sort of thing was illegal before the do-not-call list was created. But I guess you never know.
