I may be a little (as in 2-3 years) rusty here, but the basic concept is, unfortunately, right. Do Not Call laws are part of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). They apply *only* to residential (i.e., business to consumer) calls, and not to business to business calls (except for some amusing exceptions, specifically office cleaning supplies and office supplies like toner, inkjets, etc.). Currently, I don't think there are *any* federal rules reagrding B-to-B telemarketing. However, check the-dma.org for a rundown on current legislation. Also, states can and do enact their own rules, which vary widely. Finally, if you are currently doing business with the company calling you and they are you calling you regarding that relationship, Do-Not-Call will never apply (sorry, but TCPA will never help avoid the creditors...only debt collection rules apply there)
