Glad I registered last night. They are saying 108 people are registering per second. So much that the website is hard to access. Also when I registered the confirmation email was received within seconds. They said today that it was taking up to an hour to receive the confirmation email.

| this list sounds all useless bcuz 99.82 ppl dont want to recive stupid spam telmarketing calls. they rather make a law which prohibits making telemarkeing calls without a solid proof of how did they accquire the phone number and a permission that the phone number owner granted them to make telemarketing phone calls on his/her number,, |

So I was reading that due to the overwhelming amount of people that were interested in the "Do not call list" that this may lead to a "Do not spam list". I don't think the spam list would work as good, but it's a start I guess! http://www.internetnews.com/IAR/print.php/2229621 - http://www.internetnews.com/IAR/print.php/2229621 ------------- PodcastPUP: http://podcastpup.com - http://podcastpup.com 808Talk: http://808Talk.com - http://808Talk.com 808TTV: http://808Talk.tv - http://808Talk.tv |
