One week before the launch of the national Do-Not-Call (DNC) registry, the authorities threw businesses a lifeline to exempt them from having to check the registry before they market to their customers.

The new exemption order, which will kick in on Jan 2 along with the DNC registry, allows organisations to send text or fax messages of market related products and services to customers and members without having to check against the registry.
