Senate Commerce Committee Announces Caller ID Spoofing, Media Violence Hearings
 
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation announces two full Committee communications hearings on Caller ID Spoofing and Number Porting and the Impact of Media Violence on Children.
 
The Caller ID Spoofing and Number Porting hearing will focus on legislation introduced by Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL), S. 704, the Truth in Caller ID Act of 2007. The Act seeks to protect consumers from deceptive practices involving caller identification information, which is also known as caller ID “spoofing.” The hearing also will address issues related to the ability of consumers to port telephone numbers between competing voice service providers.
 
The Impact of Media Violence on Children hearing will focus on issues related to the impact of violent television programming on children, including issues raised by the recently released Federal Communications Commission (FCC) report, Violent Television Programming
And Its Impact On Children.
 
No witnesses are scheduled at this time.
