Jeffrey Kay observes that the FTC’s Do Not Call list may be easy to circumvent:
Well, it turns out that anyone can just unregister a phone number also. It’s trivial to obtain an anonymous e-mail address through Yahoo or HotMail. If I want you back on my list, I’ll just unregister you and then call you. There’s no protection. It would be trivial to write a program that registered every phone number and equally trivial to unregister them.
That and the list of exceptions are a yard long. Bottom line, you won’t get calls from small businesses, but them who have the tall dollars will still bother you.
It’s one reason I don’t have a land line. You still can’t telemarket to mobile numbers.
