I would have no objection to the phone lines not being used to transmit pornography, but that's hardly relevant to doing legitimate business over the phone

I think it's not the phone company's business that some subscribers pay for such service. I don't want it but it's a big business and provides a lot of jobs. The difference is, the phone customer is *purchasing* the service and not being solicited without permission.

So if the porn industry made 50 billion in telemarketing in your state, would you support it? Not to mention that telemarketing is not being banned.

I don't support *any* unsolicited telemarketing especially in the case of where I'm paying money to avoid it.

I agree

m1, I just realized the first part of this was Ransom's comments and should have directed my post to that poster (reference my response #339).
