Over half of all U.S. consumers are angry over Wednesday’s court decision putting a hold on the Federal Trade Commission’s do-not-call list, according to a survey by InsightExpress.
Of those who have registered for the registry, 73% were angered by the decision, 78% see no reason to delay implementation and 66% view the list as “essential to their tranquility.”
The survey also found that nuisance is not the only reason 50 million Americans have signed up for the registry. Among the do-not-all registrants, 88% said that telemarketing doesn’t provide the products they want, and 67% don’t view telemarketers as honest and trustworthy.
Despite the registry, survey respondents said telemarketing calls have risen by 10% since July.
The survey of 300 consumers was distributed and tabulated during an eight-hour period yesterday.
