California Mobile Phone Users' Bill Of Rights Makes A Comeback
After being ripped up earlier this year, California politicians are pushing for a new mobile phone bill of rights for consumers in California. While the idea of such a bill of rights to counter the industry's control and set of "worst practices," having fifty different regulations to follow is a burden for carriers that doesn't make much sense either. If the industry were smart they would come up with their own set of reasonable regulations (and stick to them!), but their inability to actually do so is opening the door for politicians to do it for them.
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.
