Article Abstract:
The telemarketing industry is watching closely over the passage of bills in Congress directly aimed at the sector. The Know Your Caller Act is a proposal aimed at prohibiting telemarketers from blocking caller ID during solicitations. The House of Representatives voted 420-0 on the act but the Senate has yet to vote on its version in the final days of the congressional session. Although industry organizations such as the American Teleservices Assn and the Direct Marketing Assn are both supportive of the act's premise to punish telemarketers hiding their phone numbers, hey are also concerned about provisions that could be detrimental to telemarketers.
