CONSUMER BANKERS ASSOCIATION TRIES TO WEAKEN INDIANA'S TELEPHONE PRIVACY LAW

The Consumer Bankers Association (CBA) has chosen to challenge Indiana's Telephone

Privacy law in a proceeding before the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The CBA is attempting to impose the federal "established business relationship"

exemption on Indiana consumers. If successful, anybody that you currently have a

business relationship with (e.g., your bank, credit card company, long distance carrier)

will be able to call you as often as they want. Over an eighteen month period, that could

translate to over 800,000,000 more unwanted phone calls to Indiana residents.

The Attorney General is fighting this battle with every legal resource available. In addition, your help is needed. Please consider doing two things. First,

contact any of the banks listed below (they are members of the CBA) that you do

business with and ask them to have the FCC petition withdrawn immediately.

Second, file comments with the FCC opposing the weakening of Indiana's law. You can make your comments by clicking the following link: http://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/upload_v2.cgi

Be sure to note docket number 02-278 in box #1 of the comment page.

Members of the Consumer Bankers Association include:

Bank of America Corp.

Fifth Third Bancorp

Harris Bancorp

Huntington Bancshares, Inc.

Integra Bank Corp.
