Fairmont Resort Properties selects Sprint Canada's Do Not Call technology solution to comply with U.S. legislation TORONTO, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sprint Canada Inc. and Fairmont Resort Properties, Canada's largest vacation ownership company, today announced an agreement through which Sprint Canada will provide services that will allow the company to fully comply with U.S. Do Not Call (DNC) legislation. Sprint Canada has been Fairmont Resort Properties' provider of long distance and toll free services since 2002. "A substantial portion of our business is dependent on outbound calling, so the introduction of Do Not Call legislation in the United States brought to a halt our outbound calling to the United States," said Collin Knight, president, Fairmont Resort Properties. "We needed a robust, full-featured application to offer full protection and compliance within the new U.S. legislation and prepare us should legislation be introduced in Canada in the near future. Sprint Canada understood our business challenge and introduced us to Gryphon Networks' state-of-the-art Guardian Interactive Solution technology." Added Greg McCamus, president, Sprint Canada Business Solutions, "Through our solutions-focused sales approach we are able to understand these specific business challenges and bring the right solutions to the table for our customers. Our DNC solution gives Fairmont Resort Properties an immediate solution to a critical business issue, one that automates compliance and protects the company from incurring significant penalties." Sprint Canada through a co-marketing agreement with Gryphon Network's launched its Do Not Call solution in November of 2003 shortly after the U.S. Federal Trade Commission implemented its legislation. Contravening the legislation can result in penalties of up to US$11,000 per call for calling a number on the national registry of DNC numbers. In addition, 24 states presently maintain independent DNC lists that telemarketers must honour, with fines of up to US$25,000 per call. Sprint Canada identified the impact of this legislation on Canadian businesses early and was first to market in Canada with a solution through an exclusive technology alliance with Gryphon Networks, the North American leader in automated Do Not Call management solutions for business. Do Not Call solutions complements Sprint Canada's portfolio of voice, enhanced voice, data and IP services for businesses of all sizes. Sprint Canada is the only Canadian telecommunications company that can provide a seamless North American network under one brand, through its partnership with Sprint Communications, L.P., a global integrated communications provider widely recognized for developing, engineering and deploying state-of-the-art network technologies.
