The order, approved last week, requires Fairpoint to appoint a "privacy officer" to ensure that the company's privacy policies are being followed. The officer also has to certify under oath each year that the company is complying with its policies, and has not violated any privacy laws. Civil libertarians in Maine are applauding the PUC's order. Barbara Cariddi has this story.
