will not this just be a safe source of working numbers for all those =

Q: If I register my number on the National Do Not Call Registry, will it =
stop all telemarketing calls?
=20
A: No. Placing your number on the National Do Not Call Registry will =
stop most, but not all, telemarketing calls. Some businesses are exempt =
from the national registry and still can call you even if you place your =
number on it. Exempt businesses include:
long-distance phone companies=20
airlines=20
banks and credit unions; and=20
the business of insurance, to the extent that it is regulated by state =
law.
However, many telemarketing calls are placed by professional =
telemarketing companies, and even if the company whose goods or services =
are being sold is exempt, the telemarketing company may be covered.
You may still receive calls from political organizations, charities, =
telephone surveyors or companies with which you have an existing =
business relationship.
The FCC has initiated a rulemaking proceeding that would extend the =
National Do Not Call Registry to many of the businesses that are exempt =
from FTC coverage.=20
