The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission has ruled it will not ban so-called junk voice mail, according to Canadian Press.
The decision was hailed as a huge victory for companies such as Toronto-based Infolink Technologies Ltd., which faced a possible ban on its “Voicecasting” system through which the firm can send thousands of advertising messages directly to voice mail boxes without ringing telephones.
Bell Canada had been trying to stop Infolink and the others for three years arguing that it annoyed customers of its Call Answer service. But on Monday, the CRTC rejected those arguments and said Infolink's service is not intrusive.
