Telecom readers who dislike telemarketers should read the front-page
article on Robert Bulmash in the 24 June 91 {Wall Street Journal}.
This is the guy who founded the anti-telemarketers group that notifies
telemarketing firms via legal notice that calls to their members will
incur a $100 charge, and he has a history of collecting, both out of
and in court.
I've seen other articles on him and his organization, and I believe
I've seen some television coverage also. This article is a good
summary and I find it *most* interesting that the pro-business WSJ
presented his aims in such a sympathetic light! The article even
includes a sidebar of suggestions on the best ways to discourage
telemarketers from calling or how to cause them the most inconvenience
if they call.
