I don't think it's government's place to regulate business that way. Short of the property destruction of throwing a brick with a note through a potential customer's window, or plastering handbills to a potential customer's car, government shouldn't really step in. I have worked for telemarketers before, and the phone numbers don't appear out of thin air. I also don't purchase any goods or services from ANY marketer who uses telephone marketing.
And if all of us would take that stance, the calls would end.
