Avoiding telemarketers

The FTC is launching a national 'Do Not Call' registry later this year. You can add your phone number to the list, and businesses are not allowed to call any number on the list. Finally, a way to avoid all those telemarketer phone calls.

If you're a California resident, the state has put up a web site allowing you to pre-register for the list for free. Once the FTC starts accepting numbers, California will give them the list of people who have pre-registered.

Yay!
