No One Complains About the Sports Authority's Telemarketing?
MSNBC is running a story on my telemarketing work. Bob Sullivan writes:
...Telemarketing groups are quietly mounting a campaign that would open the door to a floodgate of new calls, EPIC says, pointing to a series of requests filed with the FCC, essentially asking the agency to invalidate state laws regulating the practice.
Now my favorite part of the article is where Sullivan quotes the Sports Authority's lawyer, Bill Raney:
Bill Raney, a telecommunications lawyer who defends companies against Do Not Call lawsuits, said...consumers are not complaining about them [telemarketing calls]...
Consumers aren't complaining? How does he explain this (PDF)? Raney's own petition was sparked by a compliant filed by the State of Florida!
Looks like a complaint to me!
