I am not putting a lot of faith in this list. Obviously someone makes money off of telemarketing, otherwise they wouldn't do it. In Illinois, they tried to pass a law banning those high interest payday loans. Everything was going well until all the payday loan places, who are making lots of money off those loans, banded together into a lobby and lined some congressmen's pockets and re-election campaigns. The bill died immediately. It seems to me that the telemarketers would do the same thing if this list was an actual threat to their livelihood. The exceptions already listed (and I've also heard that polls and charities are excluded) seem to make this list kind of inadequate. I'm sure that most telemarketers would be willing to donate 1% of their profits to a charity in order to backdoor this list. I can also hear the polls already "In regards to your long distance service, would you say you are A)Very happy or B)Ready to switch to MCI's new 5 cents a minute plan?
Anyway, I like to just chat with and argue with telemarketers, keeping them on the phone for as long as possible without buying anything, thus making their day as unprofitable as possible.
