The Federal Communications Commission has proposed fining (PDF) some 600 telecommunications companies for failing to file an annual Customer Proprietary Network Information (CPNI) report with the agency, detailing how they companies safeguard sensitive customer information suck as call logs and the types of services customers use. Acting FCC chairman Michael Copps has proposed fining more than 600 operators who failed to file any CPNI report at all $20,000 apiece; an unspecified number of companies that filed a report that didn’t comply with the FCC’s requirements would face fines of $10,000 each.
