Cellphone Directory Threatens Privacy
Plans to create a cellphone directory may challenge the privacy of users. The national Do-Not-Call list has taken away telemarkerters ability to reach those on the list, but a plan to create a cellphone directory may offer new opportunities. A representative with Qsent, the company contracted by several large cellphone providers, said that current laws protects cellphone users because they prohibit automated calls and calls that cost the cellphone owner. This would not protect users if telemarketers paid the charge for calling cellphone users.
