Telecom Firms Form Privacy Coalition

Washington insiders Leibowitz and Bono Mack are co-chairs

As privacy and data security heat up on Capitol Hill in the wake of news over the National Security Agency's surveillance programs, a group of the nation's largest telecommunications companies formed the 21st Century Privacy Coalition.

The coalition will be co-chaired by two big-name Washington insiders familiar with privacy and data security issues: former Federal Trade Commission chairman Jon Leibowitz of Davis Polk & Wardwell and former U.S. Rep. Mary Bono Mack of FaegreBD Consulting, who took on privacy and data security policy when she served as chairwoman of the subcommittee on commerce, manufacturing and trade.
