FCC Levies $10 Million Fine Against Carriers for Breach of Consumer Privacy

This article tells us how FCC has fine TerraCome and   YourTel American for 10 million dollars for storing social security numbers ,names, addresses, driver's licenses, and other sensitive information belonging to their customers. This article also tells us how  Verizon wireless has violated the Communications Act because they decided to release a consumer call detail information.
 
 
The analysis of the problem from my point of view is that the FCC has the privilege to fine this companies because they need to provide privacy for all the data and information for their companies otherwise people can hacked computers and steal identity. Therefore, FCC has the right to take action.
