Comments:

The whole idea behind a DO-NOT-CALL list is that people will not receive calls from telemarketers. Any type of call! From any type of marketer! For any type of product! PERIOD. I can't see how prerecorded messages of any type, for any product, would ever fall outside these basic guidelines. Putting these changes into effect would effectively destroy the idea of a DO-NOT-CALL list, people would still receive these calls, and would still hate receiving them. By making these change after the establishment of the DO-NOT-CALL list the FTC would be ignoring the requests of all the people who have placed their names and phone numbers on the list, who have clearly stated that they DO NOT want to receive these calls. I implore you not to allow the extreme and persistent, hollow cries of the marketer to pierce the quite serenity and privacy of the home. I decide what I want in my home and I say DO-NOT-CALL ME!
