Federal Trade Commission Chairman Timothy J. Muris
pledges to substantially boost resources for protecting consumer
privacy in all commercial venues, including the Internet. The FTC’s
enforcement plan calls for a national “do-not-call” list of
telemarketing prospects, improved handling of consumers’
privacy-related complaints, enforcement of current limitations on
telemarketers’ sales practices and restrictions on their use of
consumers’ account information. ( www.ftc.gov/speeches/muris/privisp1002.htm
