Cable Lobbyists Refuse to Answer Simple Question About Privacy Shortly after Congress decided to dismantle consumer broadband privacy protections this week, ISP lobbying groups like the NCTA breathlessly insisted that the broadband industry "remains committed to offering services that protect the privacy and security of the personal information of our customers."

If they did not collect personal information, there would be nothing to protect.
