# AT&T Settles Multiple Privacy Investigations for $200,000

 November 30, 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday, the FCC released an Order adopting a consent decree resolving several investigations into failures of AT&T’s CPNI opt-out practices. In the settlement, AT&T agreed to make a $200,000 voluntary contribution to the U.S. Treasury and to adopt a two-year Compliance Plan including monthly testing of its opt-out mechanisms, training and reporting requirements. The Order, which closes out three separate investigations into AT&T’s self-reported lapses in its opt-out mechanisms for small business, can be found [here](http://www.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2010/db1129/DA-10-2224A1.pdf). The Order and others like it (see [TLM, June 28, 2010 post](http://www.telecomlawmonitor.com/2010/06/articles/cpni/verizon-settles-fcc-privacy-investigation-for-90000/)) demonstrates that the FCC continues to prioritize taking enforcement action with respect to easily detected failures to comply with its CPNI rules (see [TLM, August 4, 2010 ](http://www.telecomlawmonitor.com/2010/08/articles/cpni/fcc-picking-up-the-pace-on-omnibus-cpni-nals/)post).
