Don't call us, we'll call you! A recent report indicates that the Do Not Call Register may be extended to include all business numbers and fax numbers, which will create extra compliance, red tape and costs for business. The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, Senator Stephen Conroy, has invited submissions into an inquiry to expand the Do Not Call Register. "The Do Not Call Register has proved extremely popular. However, the Government is aware that there is some community demand to allow the registration of fax numbers and the telephone numbers used by organisations, such as small businesses," Conroy says. At present telephone numbers used primarily for business use, emergency service numbers and fax numbers cannot be listed on the Do Not Call Register.
