Telephone Spam part 2

Out of frustration I wrote to my MP in Nepean Ontario regarding Telephone Spam calls. This is an excerpt from his reply.


As of Dec. 2007 Bell Canada Inc. has been awarded a contract to put together a national “do not call” list. The company was the only bidder that was compliant with the requirements of the Request for Proposal. Bell Canada will be responsible for registering numbers, providing telemarketers with up-to-date versions of the list, and receiving consumer complaints about telemarketing calls. I

In addition, Bell Canada will operate the “do not call list” using the fees that telemarketers will pay to subscribe to the list. The contract stipulates that the list should be launched by September 30, 2008. If you wish to be added to this list feel free to sign up at Bell Canada’s website “http://www.bell.ca/enterprise/EntPrd_Vce_DoNotCall” or by contacting BELL directly at 310-BELL (2355).


Unfortunately the link to Bell doesn't work. Perhaps one day it will.
