Minnesota’s junior senator comes through: Amy Klobuchar sponsors the Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act of 2007
The Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act would curtail the cellular industry’s worst practices, and makes so much sense it can’t possibly survive. If only cell phone companies …
- Had to pro-rate early termination fees, cutting them in half at least by the end of the first year.
- Provided coverage maps with street-level detail so consumers could choose the best phone for their usage area.
- Were required to disclose overage charges up front, and were prohibited from charging any fees not explicitly authorized by law.
- Were unable to unilaterally extend contracts without explicitly notifying consumers.
- Had to comply with the results of an FCC study on the harmful and anti-competitive practice of locking phones.
- Were required to release military servicemembers awaiting deployment.
Wouldn’t that be nice?
