Telemarketing Comment Deadline is Friday

Comments to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) are due Friday. EPIC urges individuals to advocate a national do-not-call list that supports Internet enrollment, an affirmative obligation on telemarketers to send caller ID information, and a prohibition on autodialers that produce "dead air" or "abandoned calls." Instructions for filing comments are on the EPIC and FTC telemarketing web pages.
UPDATE:The FTC has extended the deadline and the Commission will accept Telemarketing Comments until April 15, 2002.
