The link Tonkin posted and the link you posted are the same.
Yes, but our interpretation was the polar opposite. Per the FTC, there is NO pending unleashing of cell phone numbers to the telemarketing community.
I'll make this the last flog of that horse: Right now, your cell phone number is essentially an unlisted number. Telemarketers only know that a given phone number is cellular or not; they have no way of knowing that it belongs to you. Why link your name with your cellular number in a database subject to hacking and access, legitimately or not? If you are really concerned about guarding your electronic privacy, why put a bit of data about yourself out there when there is no need? (since there is no opening of cellphones to telemarketers). That's all I was trying to say. But by all means, register if you want to.
