WASHINGTON (
DPI) ) - In an unexpected move, the Federal Trade Commission's "Do Not Call" list was sold to telemarketing giant Glomar Telecommunications earlier in the week. The list had accumulated well over 10 million unique phone numbers in under a week, a number that normally takes thousands of credit card applications and music club subscriptions to gather. The deal has apparently given the federal government nearly $2 billion for the numbers. "If we had told people what the list was really for, it would have taken much longer to reach 25 million numbers," said FTC spokesman Randall Wiswell.
