It's time for the feds to modernize telemarketing laws

[Geee]

The Hill

It never failed. The family sat down for dinner and the phone rang. It was that same telemarketer selling who knows what! 
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) was enacted in 1991, when landlines were king, as a response to consumer complaints of unwanted harassing telemarketing calls.
Today at least 50.8 percent of Americans use only a cell phone, and extensions and interpretations of the TCPA after 1991 don’t match the realities of communicating today.
