A new survey paid for by CTIA found that 61 percent of Americans who own smartphones and tablets use PINs and passwords to protect them, a 20 percent increase from 2012. CTIA said the increase is a reason for the reported decline in device thefts. The FCC has made curbing device theft a priority. Recent data suggests device thefts are down 40 percent in London, 22 percent in San Francisco and 16 percent in New York City, according to numbers released at the April meeting of the FCC Technological Advisory Council (see 1504010055). “One of the reasons for this increase by Americans to protect their personal data stored on smartphones and tablets is thanks to the collective wireless industry’s consumer education activities as well as the initiatives developed by individual companies,” CTIA said. Harris Poll conducted the online survey. CTIA released only preliminary results, the association said Thursday.

Antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on polyethylene terephthapate resin from Canada, China, India and Oman will continue, after the International Trade Commission voted on April 23 that there is a "reasonable indication" U.S. industry is injured by dumped and subsidized imports (here).

Privacy advocates are concerned about the commercial and private use of unmanned aircraft systems, said comments posted on the NTIA’s website Friday as a preliminary part of its multistakeholder process on privacy, transparency and accountability issues of drones. Comments were due Monday (see 1504200045). More than 50 individuals and organizations filed, including Amazon, the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), the Future of Privacy Forum (FPF), the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), New America Foundation’s Open Technology Institute and TechFreedom. Though some backed stringent privacy guidelines to protect privacy, others said Americans are apprehensive when new technologies are introduced and strict rules shouldn't be written for drones because they may hamper innovation.
