[SOURCE: Associated Press]
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing a $100,000 fine against Amp'd Mobile, the wireless phone company aimed at the youth market, and two other companies for failing to protect consumers' personal calling records from thieves. The FCC has proposed such fines against at least three other U.S. companies since January 2006 for failing to comply with rules requiring that consumer phone records be protected by internal safeguards. The FCC promised "aggressive, substantial steps" to crack down on phone companies that fail to protect such records.
