I am writing to ask you to tighten rather than to relax the DNC rules. The "prior business relationship" loophole is widely abused and it will be worse if you let this go through. These people leave messages on my answering machine, filling it so I cannot get real messages. Please please continue to block them. I would also request that you extend DNC to politicians and pollsters. My answering machine was full of robot-delivered political junk during the last election, again blocking real messages. I still receive sales pitches claiming they are doing a poll. Please let us block them.
