Factors such as rising fuel costs, more dual-income households, and expanding urban areas have made traditional door-to-door sales less effective. However, a new breed of "virtual" salespeople use telemarketing and automated phone systems to target potential customers remotely. The paper argues this type of aggressive marketing is intruding on consumers' privacy and recommends mobile privacy tools to block unwanted calls.
This white paper discusses the risks associated with mobile phone use, including mobile scams and SMS spam. It notes that mobile phone penetration has reached over 100% in some developed countries. It describes common mobile scams, such as fraudulent messages encouraging users to call or text premium numbers for prizes or emergencies.

The capacity teams are expected to meet weekly, take minutes including action items, and get assistance as needed to increase starts from 900 to 1600 wafers per week while determining if additional starts are possible from another tool. The teams are provided ideas to examine, such as utilization, qualification times, and staffing levels.
