Hollywood, FL | Answer is... as with many of these types of items, an industry or government agency will act first and then they might recant if they're actually "caught."
The idea is of course that it is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. You'll never see the advert companies agree to a default opt-out. They believe they have a right to the data because they've bought it, and ISPs, admitting it or not willingly violate their own privacy policies OR bury changes into the TOS which essentially opts you in, allowing some bare minimum time for you to opt-out.
The DNC list I have found to only work somewhat. I still get calls, granted not as many but they do call. Since charities are immune to the list they call regularly until I tell them to buzz off.
What I used to love in our office was the telemarketers calling every line we had. That was always fun.
I don't really think this DNT list would do much good. How would it handle me being on another machine? Kiosk? I would rather just take the steps myself to avoid being tracked.
