(2003-11-04) -- The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) today ordered AT&T; to buy dinner every night for a year for 29 families the company continued to solicit after the consumers asked to be placed on a do-not-call list. The families will also receive the home phone number of AT&T; CEO Betsy Bernard, and can call her anytime they wish.

The company plans to pay for the meals with money from its $3.5 million government contract to develop the National Do Not Call Registry.
