Phone Charges |
Cell phone companies and third-party vendors,
eager to pry more money from subscribers' wallets,
are marketing extra services like ringtones, games,
music, and more. But an increasingly angry chorus
of cell phone customers complain that they're getting
mysterious bills for monthly services that they did
not intend to sign up for, and that then take months
to cancel.
Customers are also upset about paying for spam
text messages to their phones. And lawsuits and consumer
groups are targeting the huge early termination fees
most companies charge and the seeming myriad of taxes
that can make up as much as a fifth of monthly phone
bills.

02/20/2007 Wireless Carriers
Causing Industry Stagnation |
In a report on the wireless industry released
on Thursday, Columbia law professor Tim Wu argues
that domineering wireless carriers are hindering innovation,

In the wired world, Wu says, the policies of mobile
carriers "would, in some cases, be considered simply
misguided, and in other cases be considered outrageous
and perhaps illegal."

Restrictions on Text Messaging Between Lawmakers and
Lobbyists |
Wary of lobbyists calling signals from the sidelines,
Maine is taking steps to ban text messages and e-mails
to lawmakers in session as it becomes the latest state
to address the ever-expanding use of electronic communications
in statehouses.
Maine's proposed House of Representatives rule
seeks to prevent abuse of "secret, instant communications"

01/31/2007 Cell Phones
Part of Life |
Nguyen Huu Truc's trusty cell phone has revolutionized
his small embroidery business — and his life.
When he bought his first mobile phone in 1995,
Vietnam had just one fixed-line phone for every 100
people, and cell phones were a pricey novelty. Communication
was difficult, forcing Truc to make time-consuming
trips to suppliers and buyers.
But these days, Vietnam has 33 telephones per 100
people — and two-thirds of the phones are mobile.
Now Truc can make calls on his cell phone from virtually
anywhere in the country for about 10 cents a minute,
saving him time and money and providing quicker access
to information.
