Today on Canada’s Business Report...Sprint Canada Is Calling The Shots
TORONTO, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - On today’s edition of Canada’s Business Report, host Robert Graham speaks with Peter Pleckaitis, Senior Vice-President of Marketing and Enterprise Solutions at Sprint Canada, about what the phone company is doing to prevent Canadian telemarketers from violating the U.S. “Do Not Call” law.
And why is Sprint Canada reacting to an American law? Pleckaitis says, “The Canadian call center business into the U.S. would dry up if we weren’t able to provide this capability (of blocking a call from going through to a number on the DNC list). If you’re a hotel or an entertainment company, and you’ve come up here to use Canadian call centre facilities, and numbers on the Do Not Call list were called, you would be subject to fines and you wouldn’t come up to Canada any further to use a Canadian call centre.
