Indian Court To Intervene In Cell Spamming

USA TODAY: This is a blow to telemarketers in India. After a suit filed by an independent lawyer, Supreme Court has asked the government and major telephone companies and financial institutions (who are named as defendants in the suit) to take steps to protect cell phone users from unsolicited calls. The suit called for a new law and asked that financial institutions and telephone companies protect their clients from an “endemic invasion of privacy.” The petition suggested that India consider adopting privacy-protection measures similar to those in other countries, including the federal do-not-call registry in the USA.
There is some effect already. The number of calls I get has really come down.
