Comments:

I do not want to see this ammendment to the Do Not Call List (DNCL) passed. This would simply allow Telemarketers back into my life and permit them to waste my time. The ammendment proposed would cripple the DNCL and render it useless. The DNCL is one of the only things the FCC has done in recent years that has been of any good, and now you propose to undo it. If anything the DNCL should be expanded to include unsolicited Email, Faxs, and instant messages both online and on cell phones. I have already had to block all incomming text messages to my new cell phone (and thus cripple a feature of my calling plan) due to unsolicited text messages. Instead of cutting the legs off the DNCL, give it bigger teeth.
