New list regulations that take effect on Jan. 1 require that telemarketing lists be matched against the National Do-Not-Call Registry monthly, instead of quarterly, to purge the names of consumers who requested not to be called.
The Federal Trade Commission’s registry presently has 81 million telephone numbers.
Mandatory subscriptions to the government registry cost $40 per area code, with a maximum fee of $11,000 for any company accessing 280 or more area codes. Access to matching data is free for the first five area codes.
