FTC Hangs Up on Robot Dialing Aftermarket Auto Insurance Telemarketers

It is very good to see that the Federal Trade Commission has stopped all the robot dialing aftermarket auto insurance salespeople from calling us on our cell phones and driving up ourselves on bills. Still, one has to ask why it didn't happen sooner and how come these companies got away with this for so long.
Now I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I just bet that some of these aftermarket auto insurance companies were making quite a bit of money and they were funding various political campaigns of our elected representatives. Having a few Congressmen or Senators in your hip pocket makes it very easy to operate in a gray area of law, and that's what was happening.
In fact, it wasn't until millions of phone calls were made to the Federal Trade Commission, and other consumer groups, along with the phone company that anyone took a real notice. Then one senator actually got tired of the robot dialing telemarketers calling his cell phone and so he did something about it.
Now, one can only imagine that the cell phone companies didn't want to stop it because they were making a few cents every time a cell phone was dialed, so they were actually in on the moneymaking, even if they didn't approve of the abuse.
So, in a way it's very good that the Federal Trade Commission or FTC was able to hang up on these robot dialing aftermarket auto insurance telemarketers finally, it's just too bad it didn't happen sooner. In fact I can tell you this, in my business I have a number of 800 numbers, and it was costing me at least $25 per month for these telemarketing companies to call on our company cell phones, per phone.
I don't suppose we can get some consumer redress or some money back from all those companies that called us even though they were prohibited from doing this under our telemarketing laws? Please consider all this, as even if the consumer is glad to have these telemarketing calls stopped, they are still left paying the bill.
