The FTC is ordering seven companies – including AT&T, T-Mobile, Comcast and more – to outline what data they collect, what they use the data for, and how transparent they’re being with consumers.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is putting pressure on internet broadband providers to reveal exactly what data they’re collecting – and how they are using it.

The FTC on Tuesday issued orders to seven U.S. ISPs requesting that they detail how they collect, retain, use and disclose information about consumers and their devices.  The seven companies are: AT&T, AT&T Mobility, Comcast Cable/Xfinity, Google Fiber, T-Mobile USA, Verizon Communications and Cellco Partnership (Verizon Wireless).
