The letters came in response to questions posed to the organizations by Congresswoman Bono Mack last month, following revelations that reporters at a tabloid newspaper in Great Britain routinely hacked the cell phones of politicians and celebrities to gather salacious information. The associations sending responses include the Information Technology Industry Council, National Cable and Telecommunications Association, United States Telecom Association, Consumer Electronics Association, and CTIA -- The Wireless Association.
