Comments:
I strongly recommend/vote against this new provision. Reasons against: 1.) Prerecorded messages are infinitely more obtrusive due to high frequency of dialing by a computer. A live body does not do the calling, yet a live body (me) is interrupted by this annoyance. 2.) The recorded message is still left on a personal answering machine using up memory/tape. This is especially annoying when I am gone on vacation or business trips. 3.) This is a very real scenario as evidenced by the recent election in which I would have 5-9 recorded messages left on my answering machine from political parties EVERY DAY. 4.) What constitutes an "established business relationship"? Thank you
