{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Wednesday, Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway joined other attorneys general across the country in asking Congress to oppose legislation targeting consumers' telephone privacy. The "Mobile Informational Call Act of 2011 would amend the Communications Act of 1934 and allow for robo-calling to all cell phones, leaving consumers to foot the bill. Debt collectors and other businesses could place automated "informational" calls to cell phones, impacting those who pay by the minute or have a limited number of minutes available. Since businesses frequently have the wrong contact information, consumers could be getting and paying for repeated robo-calls on their cell phones that are not intended for them.
