It was a federal case in Oklahoma. He ruled the FTC overstepped its
authority. There is another federal case coming up in Denver.
The ban may be reworked in some fashion and reappear in a different form.
Of course, I oppose the ban because I live with a phone in my ear. I don't
want to pay $11,000 just because I called some snot-nosed yuppie ******* and
his snotty bitch of a wife. Most telemarketers I've known work these jobs part
time to make ends meet.
What kind of asshole of a human being would actually initiate a $11,000 fine
that would destroy a family of modest circumstances.. over a mere commercial
phone call?
