Do-not-call seems to work--Baltimore sun.

The E-Tactics Letter • Feb 29, 2004 •

Unlike the CAN-SPAM Act, the do-not-call list appears to be working. A recent Harris poll shows that 92 percent of people who've signed up for the list say they're receiving fewer calls. 25 percent of respondents say they've received no telemarketing calls since the list went into effect last October. The FCC says that complaints have dropped as well, from 4,341 complaints in October to 1,256 complaints in January. The 1[0.sup.th] Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver has recently upheld the list as constitutional, dismissing claims that the list violates First Amendment rights.
