THE managing director of a company that makes call centre software has backed our Stop Silent Calls campaign.
Danny Singer has warned that if telemarketing companies continue to make more calls than they can physically handle the industry will die.
"There is very little the industry will do unless there is legislation in place to get rid of the rogue operators," he said.
Together the Daily Echo and Radio Solent are calling for a new law which will make it illegal for direct telephone companies using computerised predictive dialling software to over-dial.
