Congress Quizzes Phone Records Brokers
Politicians on Friday lobbed a dozen questions at companies that operate Web sites offering to sell a person's telephone calling record to anyone with $110 to spend.
This, according to an article in News.com
The article also states that "Members of the House and the U.S. Senate have already introduced proposals aimed at making such practices a crime, with prison time a possible sentence."
"Last week, the same House committee asked the Federal Communications Commission to ensure that the top five wireless and wireline providers were taking adequate steps to guarantee the privacy of their customers' records."
"The FCC responded by threatening two major providers, AT&T and Alltel, with $100,000 fines for failing to have a corporate executive personally sign off on the companies' compliance with federal regulations about protecting their customers' records."
