Do-Not-Call will not expire by Lechuan Zhou, Mar 5, 2008 (3:04pm)

Supporters say the amendment will generate revenue as well as protect households from unwanted calls, arguing that the Do-Not-Call registry has been a success and should not be allowed to expire. Opponents, such as the telecommunication services industry, say that the inflexibility of the bill is a cause for concern.
