Key Takeaways

  • •Plans and papers about phone or internet lines made by workers at phone or internet companies are kept private.
  • •If a company is working on phone or internet stuff for these companies, their papers are also kept private.
  • •This rule only applies to companies that the Public Utilities Commission watches over.

Example

A worker at an internet company draws a map of where new internet cables will go.
