In this New York Times article, the effort to ban telemarketing calls to cell phones is discussed. I think it is a great idea. Telemarketing, like the pop up, is an extremely bad form of advertising. Yes, it makes money but in the long run, again like the pop up, it will help contribute to a hatred for other types of marketing as well. I applaud this effort and soon hope to ditch my land line and go all cell….until the problem described in the last part of this article muddies the waters again.
