Comments:
I am opposed to the FTC's proposal that would require written authorization to receive pre-recorded telemarketing calls from the businesses and non-profit organizations with whom I have an established relationship. It is my belief that this would cause an undue burden to these businesses and they would simply not be able to call. Pre-recorded sales calls can provide a great benefit to the consumer and it is outrageous that the FTC would even consider interfering with such a relationship. I would ask the commission to either adopt the EBR exception contained in the TCPA that creates an exception for pre-recorded calls or continue its forbearance towards businesses that send pre-recorded messages to those with an EBR beyond January 2, 2007.
