kudos:1 | FCC CPNI Rules? The FCC recently strengthened their position on CPNI stating that customer information cannot be shared with third parties unless the customer specifically agrees. My take, and I am not a lawyer, is that sharing the info for marketing purposes with a company like nebuAD would be highly against the rules. And since this information is still shared despite the cookie opt out method, I think Charter would be in violation.

Case in point: the national do not call list. I still get sales calls despite having been registered on that site pretty much since the day it was launched. |

Then all Charter has to do is put in the TOS, by getting Charter internet you are agreeing to data sharing, if you do not agree, do not order service.
Remember internet IS NOT regulated by the FCC. Nobody regulates it. |

| Not that they wouldn't do it, but forced consent is a bit of a contradiction in terms. I don't think it would hold up if challenged. |

I don't believe they can do that. It appears a separate consent authorization form is needed. |

The "do not call" list will only work if enough people complain about a specific violator. |
