Regulation — it works!

November 12, 2003 by Scott Rosenberg

It’s now been several weeks since the no-call list limiting telemarketers’ calls was put into effect, and guess what? Our household — which previously received on average of 2-3 telemarketing calls per weekday evening, inevitably ringing just when I’d sat down in front of a hot dinner or the kids were raising a ruckus in the bathtub or when we’d finally gotten them down to bed — has seen an approximately 99.9 percent reduction in the volume of telemarketing. I think we’ve received one call total, from our own phone company, which can claim it has an “existing business relationship” or whatever with us.

I consider this a major lifestyle improvement.
