Oh gasp !


Not Commercials-Removed-From-Television-and-Placed-On-The-Phone-Line !!!!


Surely there would be legislation if the advertising medium-of-choice became
the telephone.


I really hate legislating solutions but.... I would support a law prohibiting
telephone solicitation or a compromise requiring that such companies check
the database which has a PERMISSION GRANTED or NOT GRANTED category besides
name, telephone #, annual income, debt level, home-owner/not  etc


It sure would be nice if phone technology could advance to the point of
an electronic "No Solicitors" sign.
