Better call the FTC
via Slashdot (news for nerds, stuff that matters)
This article from the Chicago Sun-Times:

The agency overseeing the national Do Not Call Registry is considering opening a loophole in the year-old program to allow companies to deliver ''pre-recorded message telemarketing.''

Here is where you can let the FTC know what you think about this. Seriously, they want to know. Seriously, you should tell them.

UPDATE: Sorry, the FTC comment link works now. The one which I previously had in the link was copied directly from the Sun-Times article, which had a typo. Thanks to Slashdot, I found the correct link. Chalk up another win to the guys in the pajamas over the MSM.
