Verizon will be paying the FCC $7.4 million in what is now the largest penalty ever seen by the government agency. The carrier was negligent in letting customers know about their information being used for marketing purposes. Customers were supposed to be alerted about their information being shared and given the opportunity to not participate. Verizon was using phone records for whatever reason and that is what caused a big stir. The opt out opportunity was supposed to be included on a customer’s initial bill. Two million customers were affected.
