- Something else that is applicable to this is the 1991 Telecommunications
- Act whic goes into effect in December of this year. The act covers
- autodialers and various telemarketing aspects of buisness. Here are a
- few of the highlights: It bans junk faxes(unless the business has an
- established business relationship with you). No calling before 8:00
- a.m. or after 9:00p.m(charities can call until 9:30p.m.). Any
- automatic dialer machines must hang up if the other party does within
- three seconds. And it also had many more rules conserning the
- computerized telemarketing call. It also requires telemarketers to
- not call if you tell them not to. If anyone has any specific questions,
- I do have a copy of the act at my office.
