A company PBX is a private system. When you connect your phone to Bell South , it’s on a public system (or at least a Bell South system). You knew that when you connected it.
My phone is connected to a phone compnay of some unknown ownership to me. That ownership is irrelevant to my point. My point is that the phone company leases public land to send me phone transmissions AND that these phone transmissions are specifically segmented to me AND I don't want them. Public property is never so easily segmented as it is with specific phone messages that are segmented accross it on phone lines. Who else would have a better right to control such a thing?
Telemarketing is not “harassment”. It’s solicitation. You just find it annoying.
My argument doesn't need for it to reach the level of harrassment and BTW some telemarketing DOES reach that level as would be judged by "a resonable person" -- IMO.
The access point owners (phone company) that you sign up with. Also, it was you (I think) that brought up the claim that it was harassment.
I have a plumbing leak and an 11mo to take care of today. Got to go, good luck.
