Consumer Issues Experience
Privacy

In 1996, the Competition Policy Institute supported the FCC's rules to safeguard the privacy of information developed by telecommunications carriers in the course of providing service to consumers.   The FCC's CPNI rules were appealed by U S West to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, which vacated the FCC's rules.  CPI petitioned the United States Supreme Court for a Writ of Certiorari.
