[asterisk-users] Do Not Call List

[Don Fanning]

Oddly enough, there's really nothing stopping one from doing so in the
material I just scan through at:
http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/rulemaking/tsr/tsrrulemaking/index.htm
<http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/rulemaking/tsr/tsrrulemaking/index.htm> 


In regards to the fee, here is the latest:
----
>The amended rule increases the annual fee for access to the Registry for
>each area code of data to $62 per area code, or $31 per area code of data
>during the second six months of an entity's annual subscription period. The
>maximum amount that would be charged to any single entity for accessing 280
>area codes of data or more is increased to $17,050. In addition, the
>amended rule retains the provisions regarding free access by "exempt"
>organizations, as well as free access to the first five area codes of data
>by all entities.
----

In particular, here is the part on the usage... If a central database
(external from the FTC) does start up, they'll have to register who uses the
database.

---
§ 310.9 Fee for access to do-not-call
registry.
(c) Access to the do-not-call registry is
limited to telemarketers working on their
own behalf or working on behalf
of other sellers or telemarketers. Prior to
accessing the do-not-call registry, a
telemarketer must provide the
identifying information required by the
operator of the registry to collect the
user fee, and must certify, under penalty
of law, that the telemarketer is accessing
the registry solely to comply with the
provisions of this rule. If the
telemarketer is accessing the registry on
behalf of other sellers or telemarketers,
that telemarketer also must identify
each of the other sellers or telemarketers
on whose behalf it is accessing the
registry, and it must certify, under
penalty of law, that the other sellers or
telemarketers will be using the
information gathered from the registry
solely to comply with the provisions of
this rule.
