Just when there are 3 seconds in the game, and this last play determines the victor, the phone rings. You are interrupted at the special moment when you want no distractions. As you probably already know, so many people complained about calls from unknown marketers of products that the federal government responded with a Do- Not-Call-Registry. The legal source for the Registry is the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and incorporates the administrative efforts of both the Federal Communications Commission and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The FCC provides the administrative rules for implementing the TCPA. The scope includes both national and international telemarketing calls. If your name is on the Registry, commercial telemarketers are prohibited from calling you (or at least must remove your name from their call list within 31 days from your registration). The service is free, with no need to renew your name. Just call 1-888-382-1222 (voice) or 1-866-290-4236 (TTY) or visit the FCC website at: http://www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/do-not-call-list All that sounds great. Renewed faith in the government that it can work.
