U.S. Court of Appeals Stays Injunction Against Telemarketing "Do-Not-Call" List

On October 7, 2003, the US Court of Appeals (10th Cir) ordered a stay of the District Court's permanent injunction preventing implementation of the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's national "do-not-call" list, pending final resolution of the FTC appeal as to its constitutionality. The Order clears the way for implementation of the do-not-call list, which will create a federal registry of telephone numbers of consumers who have indicated that they do not wish to receive unsolicited telephone calls from commercial telemarketers and prohibit telemarketers from making sales calls to those consumers.

A recent report indicates that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission is considering whether Canada should have a similar do-not-call list.
