Many people are in favor of the ban, citing the annoyance and disruption caused by telemarketing calls. As one user stated:

Great idea! Telemarketers have ruined the phone network for me. I haven’t answered an unknown call for the past 10 years, which sometimes means I miss important ones.

Others are concerned about the potential impact on small businesses that rely on cold calls to reach customers.

Cold calls annoy me is one angle, and from that perspective, sure. But the rich get richer and the poor get poorer is another angle. Because giant corporations may not need to make cold calls. It’s the small bootstrapped startup that does.
