Schumer Calls for Increased Wireless Regs
Senator Charles Shumer has introduced legislation calling for a "cell phone user bill of rights" with a number of different points to help guarantee better service for mobile phone users. The bill would mandate number portability - which I thought was in the process of being mandated already. It would also let the FCC monitor cell phone service qualiy. The industry, of course, is against any such regulation.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
