There's a remarkably impressive cell phone bill in Congress, and no, we don't mean that somebody in Congress just accumulated a cell phone bill that's enough to give someone more than a headache.
Senators Amy Klobuchar and Jay Rockefeller just revealed their proposed legislation, dubbed the Cell Phone Consumer Empowerment Act of 2007, that will greatly benefit cell phone users all over the US. Don't believe it? Read on to find out.
Distressed with Early Termination Fees? The two senators propose that the ETF be reduced to only half the amount after one year; this is especially useful for people who just have to cancel their service a few months or weeks before the end of their contract.
Klobuchar and Rockefeller also thought up of something very useful for consumers: a visual map of all network providers in a given area. This way, people will be able to make informed choices before signing a contract with a network provider.
As for Armed Service Personnel - those who frequently leave the their hometown or country and thus may have to shut down their subscriptions at inopportune moments - the two senators suggested that those who work in the military should be absolved of any cellular contracts once they receive orders to leave the country for a period of not less than three months or 90 days.
Such legislation certainly means less headaches for cellular phone users. Will the bill be implemented? Do check this space to find out.
