Yes, we have it and it does work. You have to make sure you have you name on the list and if telemarketers call their company can be fined. I haven't had any calls since I put my name on last year but I sure do get lots of research people now. Their first sentence is, I'm not selling anything, but I'm beginning to hate them the way I hated those telemarketer calls.

From my understanding, no it's not in place here. BUT, we have heard lots of talk on the local news that said a federal "no call" registry will be in effect for the entire nation by this summer. The fines can be as high as $10,000 for telemarketers that ignore the registered requests. I can't wait!! It sounds wonderful. I'll be eagerly signing up as soon as it's available!
