National Do Not Call List Opens for Registrations

Submitted by cel4145 on June 27, 2003 - 11:48.

Slashdot notes that the National Do Not Call List for telemarketers is opening for business. As soon as the .gov site is no longer slashdotted, I would imagine that a lot of us will want to register. I'll even stand in line :)

Now, where's the email version that we all need?

No longer slashdotted

I registered this morning. Took about 30 seconds--elegant, minimalist interface. This project was done right!

P.S. I doubt that slashdot alone took this site down. NPR, NY Times, CNN, and Yahoo probably had a bit to do with it. But "slashdotted" is a nicer word for it.

I just registered my #, too. Hopefully this will prevent some of the annoying calls I've been getting (upwards of 5 per day). I wonder if there are some loopholes in the law, though.

Yep. Go to the site and read the faq page. It explains that, for example, non-profits and political organizations can still solicit (sigh)
