US National Do Not Call list goes live

Well, this has been reported everywhere, but in case you missed it, the national do not call list has gone live today. Of course the site is swamped and I am unable to actually get to it, but I'm sure the traffic will die down in the next few days. Most telemarketers are required to consult this list every three months. Once you register there is a really good chance that the number of telemarketing calls you get will decrease. There are exceptions to that rule though, like Political organizations and Charities. Hey, it's a start!
