  • Marketing Privacy: a Solution for the Blight of Telemarketing
    Marketing Privacy Ian Ayrest Matthew Funktt Unsolicited solicitations in the form of telemarketing calls, email spam andjunk mail impose in aggregate a substantial negative externality on society. Telemarketers do not bear the full costs of their marketing because they do not compensate recipients for the hassle of, say, being interrupted during dinner. Current regulatory responses that give consumers the all-or-nothing option ofregistering on the Internet to block all unsolicited telemarketing calls are needlessly both over- and under­ inclusive. A better solution is to allow individual consumers to choose the price per minute they would like to receive as compensation for listening to telemarketing calls. Such a "name your own price" mechanism could be easily implemented technologically by crediting consumers' phone bills (a method analogous to the current debits to bills from 1-900 calls). Compensated calling is also easily implemented within current "don't­ call" statutes simply by giving "don't-call" households the option to authorize intermediaries to connect calls that meet their particular manner or compensation prerequisites. Under this rule, consumers are presumptively made better off by a regime that gives them greater freedom. Telemarketing firms facing higher costs of communication are likely to better screen potential contacts. Consumers having the option of choosing an intermediate price will receive fewer calls, which will be better tailored to their interests, and will be compensatedfor those calls they do receive. Giving consumers the right to be compensated may also benefit some telemarketers. Once consumers are voluntarily opting to receive telemarketing calls (in return for tailored compensation), it becomes possible to deregulate the telemarketers-lifting current restrictions on the time (no night time calls) and manner (no recorded calls).

Actually I wasn’t dreaming, I was al- ready in California, living a young single man’s dream. A year or so out of college, I 9 I was residing in sunny Manhattan Beach, California, with a small apartment three blocks from the soft white sand so wonderful that they used it to help create Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. I had graduated the year before, summa cum laude, with a bach- elor’s degree in aerospace engineering from the University of Michigan, a top‐tier engineering school. Then I had turned my back on Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology (MIT), California Institute of Technology (Cal Tech), Stanford University, Purdue University, and Michigan, all of whom had accepted me in their aerospace master’s degree program. I turned down those great schools to live and work in sunny California, a lifelong dream. I still remember the precise moment I made that fateful decision. On a bitterly cold winter’s day in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I was walking down South University Avenue to one of my fi nal‐semester classes. The wind was blowing so hard in my face that I actually leaned into the wind to see if it would keep me up. At that point, fall- ing face‐fi rst onto the ice‐covered sidewalk would not have been much worse than feeling the stinging wind in my face.
