AT&T Awarded Contract to Implement National Do-Not Call Registry

AT&T Government Solutions was awarded a $3.5 million contract by the Federal Trade Commission to develop and implement a national registry containing phone numbers of consumers who do not wish to be contacted by telemarketers. By summer, consumers should be able to input their phone numbers into the registry either by phone or via a website. Telemarketers will be required to download the database of 'do not call' numbers every quarter and discontinue telemarketing to these numbers.
