You probably couldn't find the interview because it was with Nora Denzel:-) Slashdot even did a story linking to it. I highly recommend re-reading... It makes for a good laugh:-)

7. What about telemarketers calling from overseas? Are they covered? Won't you have difficulty enforcing your national "do not call" registry outside the U.S?
Telemarketers calling U.S. consumers are covered, regardless of where they are calling from. Enforcement outside the U.S. is not as easy as it is at home, but it is not unusual for the FTC to take law enforcement action - and to prevail - against telemarketers calling from outside the U.S. Moreover, if a company within the U.S. solicits sales through an overseas professional telemarketer, that U.S. company is liable for any TSR violations of the telemarketer. Initiating enforcement action against such companies is not a problem for the FTC.
What we really need is an active law NO ONE in PA can receive telemarketing calls unless they ADD themselves to a list.
They already have this in Vermont. In effect, it has excluded everyone in Vermont from being called, EVEN if they add their name to the list saying they wish to be called (who would do that anyway???) because it's to expensive for the telemarketers to sort it out...:-)
