This is an update that was just posted at The Boston Globe's web site.
The federal government, aided by an order yesterday by Supreme Court Justice
Stephen G. Breyer, plans to put into effect tomorrow a national do-not-call list
that is designed to shield homes from telephone sales pitches.
The action by Breyer, however, allows another agency -- the Federal
Communications Commission -- to stand in for the FTC and begin enforcing the
do-not-call mandate.
The FCC, which regulates telephone service, has no list of its own, but it has
written rules that will enforce the one amassed by its sister agency, which
regulates unfair marketing tactics.
Michael K. Powell, FCC chairman, noted that his agency could move forward
because it was not affected by the court orders keeping the FTC from
implementing the registry.
