How about a do-not-spam registry? - Spontaneous street celebrations have greeted the news that Federal regulators have decided to create a National Do-Not-Call Registry. You will be able to block those annoying telemarketers -- a godsend to those of us who work at home -- and up to 60 million American homes are expected to sign up. (That is if this thing goes forward -- it still needs congressional action, and I predict the mother of all lobbyist battles.) According to today's Washington Post, violators may rack up fines of $11,000 per illegal call -- ouch! Watch out, however, for the big loophole for companies "with existing business relationships." No doubt telemarketers will be scrambling to be added to those ubiquitous "friends and partners" permission lists.
