10th Circuit Says FTC Can Enforce Do Not Call

TCPALaw writes "Reuters is reporting that the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals has just ruled that the FTC can go ahead with administration and enforcement of the national Do-Not-Call list, staying a lower court ruling that blocked the FTC from implementing the list. Now I can sue those pesky telemarketers .. I have already gotten 3 telemarketing calls to the phone number I put on the national list since the list went into effect." Reader jhlund1976 points to the court's decision itself. Note, as strredwolf does, that this only means the FTC can "run the registry while a challenge from telemarketers winds its way through the courts." Strredwolf also points to the all-knowing Google News link.

    we'd just walk 30 miles in the snow to the local light plug, that's what we called power outlets back then. Then we'd run copper wire all the way to our phone, and send some through the line to melt the telco's links between me and them.

    It only worked if you tied onions to your shoelaces, cause that was the style at the time...

    We had a great decision from the 9th yesterday, and from the 10th today. Can we get the Hatrick?

    It is one of my goals in life to not end up part of a news cast which finishes with the phrase "before turning the shotgun on himself". So far so good.

    I'd simply get a phone# that costs $2 a minute to call.
