Michael Geist’s column in the Toronto Star this week takes a critical look at the CRTC’s process to implement the telemarketing Do Not Call List.
… the do-not-call list process has degenerated into a farce. Having absolved itself of responsibility, the CRTC may now be ready to hand over the operation of the list to Canada’s telecom companies, who will collect a steady stream of revenue from thousands of Canadian businesses.
I have written extensively on the subject, including mentioned that the CRTC’s proposal will also require school clubs, scouting troops and neighbourhood teams to register with the phone cops. I won’t add anything more, other than a link to a catalog of my earlier articles on the subject.
