will not this just be a safe source of working numbers for all those covered by exceptions? <quote> Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it stop all telemarketing calls? A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt from the national registry and still can call you even if you place your number on it. Exempt businesses include: long-distance phone companies airlines banks and credit unions; and the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state law. However, many telemarketing calls are placed by professional telemarketing companies, and even if the company whose goods or services are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company may be covered. You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing business relationship. The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would extend the National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are exempt from FTC coverage. </quote> -- deejay > -----Original Message----- > From: John R Levine [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: 27. j�na 2003 7:53 > To: [email protected] > Subject: National Do Not Call Registry has opened > > > > The domain is donotcall.gov, IP range is 206.16.196.192/26. > > They all seem to have the same subject line. > > Subject: National Do Not Call Registry - Complete Your > Registration > > > DCC checksums (already have a count of 25 even though it's > only been open > for an hour or so and it's the middle of the night): > > ok fuz1 ac8763a8 a9e8d829 5e8a506b 1d6ac5e5 > ok fuz2 bc65f25a 2c08ccfd 5b8b6e2c 3c806c1d > > They don't quite have all the bugs out.
