Supreme Court lets do-not-call list stand

The Supreme Court Monday declined to hear a final legal challenge to the federal do-not-call list, letting stand a lower court ruling that telemarketers' free-speech rights are not violated by the registry.

The justices, without comment, rejected telemarketers' appeal of a February ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit that upheld the constitutionality of the popular year-old list.

Businesses face fines of up to $11,000 for calling people on the registry, which now includes about 64 million numbers.

FTC officials say telemarketers are generally complying with the list, though the agency has received about 500,000 complaints.
