Do Not Call List, the Cell Phone Edition

Remember telemarketing calls? Most of us haven’t been bothered by them since the government introduced the very popular Federal Do Not Call List earlier this year.

Well, here we go again. As of January 1, 2005, marketers will be able to call your cell phone, which they hadn’t been able to before. So get a head start and delist your cell phone number, too.

UPDATE:
D’oh! This is something of a hoax. There will be a new cell phone directory of sorts, but it’s supposed to be off limits to telemarketers, so it’s probably not worth worrying about.
