Re: FCC siding with a telco? Shocking..
said by Corydon  :From the article: The cable companies said that violates a law that says, “[a] telecommunications carrier that receives or obtains proprietary information from another carrier for purposes of providing any telecommunications service shall use such information only for such purpose and shall not use such information for its own marketing efforts."
Verizon countered that since it is not receiving the information to provide a service, but rather to terminate one, that reading of the law is wrong. The service is still being provided, by someone, i.e., the carrier it is being ported to; is the law otherwise specific about such an exclusion somewhere else?, because from the above excerpt alone, "provided" still applies since someone is providing it (the essense of the porting) regardless of who. |
