Oct 14, 2004 -- Telemarketing companies crying wolf
Do you remember the big fight over the national "Do Not Call" list? Telemarketers went berserk filing lawsuits and griping about all the jobs they would lose when the list went into effect. The telemarketing industry even went took the issue to the Supreme Court, claiming it would cost the country 2 million jobs. So, how many people have actually lost their jobs? USA Today researched this topic and couldn’t find any jobs that have been lost. So, basically there has been no job loss, and more peace and quiet in our homes. The next time the industry squeals about all the jobs it is losing, just close your ears.

You posted this Oct. 14, 2004. it it now Jan.14,2009. 3 of the 4 countries largest call centers have either had to reduce size greatly or close their doors all togeather directly related to this law. Most of the jobs lost were in small communities that could not afford to lose one job. i don't even know if you are still around to read this. If you are good luck and leave some room that you may just be a little too early for your commentary.
