Wget from FTC opt-out site: 503
As if they didn't know but after the announcement was made, access to the Do Not Call site was intermittent Friday and the site took roughly 28 seconds to load, said Roopak Patel, an Internet analyst for Keynote Systems, a Web performance and load-testing service company.
Even those fortunate enough to get through to the site and register Friday had trouble. For some--ironically--the desire to block unwanted marketing calls was tripped up by the blocking of unwanted marketing e-mail: Internet service providers either routed the Do Not Call registration confirmation e-mails to users' junk-mail folders, or prevented the messages from reaching in-boxes, due to the way users set up their spam-blocking filters.
If users fail to respond to their e-mail confirmation within 72-hours of its being sent from the Do Not Call site, their telephone number will not be registered, Torok said. Source:C|net.
