The Commission invoked Section 222 of the Communications Act in establishing a framework that requires, among other things, customers’ consent before certain sensitive information can be shared, such as web browsing history, financial data and social security numbers.
The Federal Trade Commission contended in a 2014 complaint that AT&T Mobility failed to adequately reveal to customers that they would suffer a reduction in data speeds if they used a certain amount of data in a billing cycle.
While AT&T received fees from the scammers for the third-party charges, the companies billing customers never actually provided any directory assistance service to them, the FCC said.
Clinton’s Initiative on Technology & Innovation expresses support for the internet regulations, with the presidential candidate promising to “defend these rules in court and continue to enforce them.”
Last month, AT&T joined the five coalition members in requesting that the FCC strike “irretrievably flawed” data underlying the agency’s proposal to reform the market for business data services.
The phone carriers said the market for Ethernet cable services is significantly more competitive than was indicated by data upon which the Federal Communications Commission relied in proposing reforms to the market for business data services.
The review by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit marked the third time in seven years that the court had examined FCC rules aimed at preserving open access to the Internet.
Windstream raised concerns that the deal could harm competition in the market for business-data services.
Stamford, Connecticut-based Charter said it anticipates closing the transactions very soon.
The agency’s actions, which include a proposal to apply a “technology-neutral framework” to the regulation of business data services, drew condemnation from the cable industry and large incumbent phone carriers.
