It's been useful for me. I recently received a call to remember to sign up for a charity race before the early signup deadline passed. It was good for me because I had done it for the past 5 years, but hadn't remembered to sign up yet. The reminder saved me money for early signup. It was good for the caller because they then had another person committed to doing the event. ---- The college I went to was funded in part by donations from alumni. Without donations received by telemarketers calling, there would be less resources available for my education.
