Looks like everybody is getting involved in the Do-Not-Call list. President Bush today signed the bill drafted and passed last week by congress giving the FTC the authority to enact and administer the list. A court in Denver blocked the FTC from enacting the list on issues of free speech last Thursday. In the mean time the FCC has stepped up today to enforce the list while those legal issues are ironed out. A Denver appeals court denied a request from telemarketers to block the FCC from enforcing the registry. Today the Supreme Court refused to block that decision. The FCC will begin enforcement of the list on Wednesday, right on schedule.
