The telecommunications revolution promises near-unlimited access to data and services that will improve the quality of  life for all consumers.   However, this data access brings with it a challenge to one of our most cherished rights - the right to privacy.  Ron Binz has been active on several fronts to protect consumer privacy in telecommunications and Internet technology. 

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.
