This Act may be cited as the ''Wireless 411 Privacy Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress finds that--
(1) there are roughly 150 million wireless subscribers in
the United States, up from approximately 15 million subscribers
just a decade ago;
(2) wireless phone service has proven valuable to millions
of Americans because of its mobility, and the fact that
government policies have expanded opportunities for new
carriers to enter the market, offering more choices and ever
lower prices for consumers;
(3) in addition to the benefits of competition and
mobility, subscribers also benefit from the fact that wireless
phone numbers have not been publicly available;
(4) up until now, the privacy of wireless subscribers has
been safeguarded and thus vastly diminished the likelihood of
subscribers receiving unwanted or annoying phone call
interruptions on their wireless phones;
(5) moreover, because their wireless contact information,
such as their phone number, have never been publicly available
in any published directory or from any directory assistance
service, subscribers have come to expect that if their phone
rings it's likely to be a call from someone to whom they have
personally given their number;
(6) the wireless industry is poised to begin implementing a
directory assistance service so that callers can reach wireless
subscribers, including subscribers who have not given such
callers their wireless phone number;
(7) while some wireless subscribers may find such directory
assistance service useful, current subscribers deserve the
right to choose whether they want to participate in such a
directory;
(8) because wireless users are typically charged for
incoming calls, consumers must be afforded the ability to
maintain the maximum amount of control over how many calls they
may expect to receive and, in particular, control over the
disclosure of their wireless phone number;
(9) current wireless subscribers who elect to participate,
or new wireless subscribers who decline to be listed, in any
new wireless directory assistance service directory, including
those subscribers who also elect not to receive forwarded calls
from any wireless directory assistance service, should not be
charged for exercising such rights;
(10) the marketplace has not yet adequately explained an
effective plan to protect consumer privacy rights;
(11) Congress previously acted to protect the wireless
location information of subscribers by enacting prohibitions on
the disclosure of such sensitive information without the
express prior authorization of the subscriber; and
(12) the public interest would be served by similarly
enacting effective and industry-wide privacy protections for
consumers with respect to wireless directory assistance
service.

SEC. 3. CONSUMER CONTROL OF WIRELESS PHONE NUMBERS.
