Same here, also if you do answer and Say "This is a cell phone, never call me at this number again." I have never had a call back... I think it's illegal for them to call cell phones that or I can't explain why it works.

If the government is going to out-source the administration of the list, who better to do it than a telecom company that already has extensive experience creating databases of phone numbers?

I agree with this, Bell and/or Telus already have your phone numbers and a whole lot more... other than billing issues or the odd customer satisfaction survey I don't think they call much or abuse and use this information... in fact I'm pretty sure the CRTC would fine them alot if they did... and as for who watches the watchers - *if* they need watching well thats what the CRTC does already, so I guess they just keep doing what they do.
