WASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission has proposed fining AT&T
Inc. and Alltel Corp. $100,000 each for apparently failing to certify that
they have procedures to protect customers' personal phone records.

The finding comes as Congress opens hearings Wednesday on how to stop
companies that are selling private phone records over the Internet.

AT&T and Alltel have 30 days to respond to a "notice of apparent liability"
issued late Monday by the FCC's enforcement bureau.

"AT&T on Thursday reported its first quarter of results since the former
SBC closed the $16 billion acquisition of the old Ma Bell on Nov. 18. SBC
then adopted the AT&T name.

In the final three months of 2005, the company said net income rose to
$1.66 billion, or 46 cents a share, from $688 million, or 21 cents, a year
ago. Those figures include a partial contribution from the old AT&T Corp."
