Law unclear on third-party DNC list requests

Article Abstract:

Vague federal egulations have left some telemarketers wondering what to do when they receive requests from third parties to place consumers on their do-not-call (DNC) lists. Even, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act fail to directly address this matter. Hence, telemarketers are advised to handle third-party DNC requests case by case. Two factors to consider are the size of the request and whether the person or organization making the request can provide supporting documents, such as power-of-attorney letters.
