do not call meets verisign

From a seemingly unlikely source comes a new service for telecom call centers to make certain that they are in compliance with telemarketing "do not call" statutes. Verisign will be offering a database and service in conjunction with a New York company to help telemarketers keep track of whom they shouldn't call. On paper, this sounds like a good idea. It's been more than ten years since Congress passed a "do not call" statute. It's questionable as to how effective that law has been. Will having someone like Versign offering a national database make it easier for companies to comply? Is Verisign up to the task?
