FCC Will Try to Enforce Do-Not-Call List
Chairman Michael Powell testified at a Senate hearing on the "Rules and Regulations Implementing the Do-Not-Call Registry" that the Federal Communications Commission will continue to enforce the Do-Not-Call rules "to the extent legally persmissible." However, he acknowledged that the commission's power has been crimped by the Colorado District Court's order on Monday denying the FTC's request for a stay of its earlier ruling and also forbidding the FTC from enforcing the registry "indirectly" through the FCC.� Despite the uncertainty, consumers have continued to sign up for the registry � more than one million in the last month.
