While I agree 110% that it should be illegal to sell customer data, period. Requiring carriers to file a stupid piece of paper that says they don't is a joke. Especially considering the FCC never made any effort to notify any carriers about it.

If the idea is to prevent carriers from selling customer data - shouldn't they (the FCC) actually contact carriers to let them know - instead of the first time carriers hearing about the regulation being when they get fined?

It sounds to me like this is more about a way for the FCC to get $$$ than it is about protecting consumers.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21987143 Fri, 27 Feb 2009 15:07:03 EDT
