Well, mostly. There have been a few violators here, but overall, the level of telemarketing calls has gone down significantly in recent years thanks to the registry. Both the House and Senate have passed bills this month meant to improve upon it, ensuring that the majority of your spam stays off your phone line (and remains in your inbox). </P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071218-new-legislation-for-telemarketers-do-not-call-ever.html"> The first of the bills, the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007 (S 2096), was recently passed by the Senate, and a nearly identical version (HR 3541) was passed by the House earlier this month. As the registry functions today, users must re-register their phone numbers every five years if they want to remain on the list, but the bills change that by eliminating the automatic removal of phone numbers after a certain period of time. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20071218-new-legislation-for-telemarketers-do-not-call-ever.html">the Senate has taken an important step toward making the Do-Not-Call list the Never-Call list</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/160477B9-678E-48D1-BC82-4B09DD8F839F/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
