Comments:
To relax the application of the Do Not Call Rule to allow greater scope to telemarketers with automatic calling machinery is absurd. Interpretation of the phrase "pre-existing business relationship" is already so loose as to provide a loophole/safe harbor larger than the telemarketers had any right to expect. Automatic-call telemarketing campaigns are an abomination, and restrictions on them need to be tightened, not loosened.
