Do Not Call Listings to Expire in 2008

Just a head up for everyone in the states 🙂

"Yahoo! News report that the cherished dinner hour void of telemarketers could vanish next year for millions of people when phone numbers begin dropping off the national/United States (U.S.)'s Do Not Call list. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which oversees the list, says there is a simple fix. But some lawmakers think it is a hassle to expect people to re-register their phone numbers every five years. Numbers placed on the registry, begun in June 2003, are valid for five years. For the millions of people who signed onto the list in its early days, their numbers will automatically drop off beginning next June if they do not enroll again."

Goddamnit. Why can't they just make it perpetual?

Does this work well for anyone? I never had a land line before getting our house recently, was going to sign up for this.

I wish they had a do not send credit card application list that actually worked.
