THE DO-NOT-CALL LIST: WILL IT SURVIVE?
Chris Kannady, a third year law student in the JD/MBA program at the University of Oklahoma College of Law, gives this overview of the do-not-call list dilemma. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act was enacted in order to protect residential telephone subscribers’ privacy rights to avoid telephone solicitations. However, in 2002, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") began the process of creating the current nationwide do-not-call list that the FTC, not individual telemarketing organizations, would maintain. Within one year, the do-not-call list was finalized and ready to open for public registration. It did not take long before telemarketers filed suit to block the list. This article provides a detailed discussion of the litigation initiated by telemarketers in an attempt to invalidate the do-not-call list. Since the telemarketing industry stands to lose billions of dollars if the list continues to operate, litigation concerning this matter is likely to continue.
