Except that when you go to work the Employer pays you more than $7K....you have health benefits, sick leave, annual leave, 401K match, etc., and you do not have to pay for the toilet paper you use at work. And you know that the Gov (depending on where you are - local, city, county, state, fed, welfare, handouts, gimmies) take 20-50%. -- I am not lost, I find myself every time. | |

| Other Officials Looking Out for Our Interests! "...the cellular industry backs a targeted bill backed by Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.) that would overturn a provision in 1993 law reserving to states limited jurisdiction over mobile phone operators. The 1993 law bans state regulation of rates and market entry, but leaves to states oversight of 'other terms and conditions' of wireless service.That bill would erase the states' remaining, limited ability to hold the wireless companies accountable for some anti-consumer actions.
It would effectively unleash wireless telcos to agree on consumer treatment and then deliver that treatment.
Thanks Sen. Mark Pryor (D-Ark.)! I was terribly concerned that my wireless telcos might not have all the control over my wireless experience that they might.

Federal bills are notoriously toothless and filled with loopholes so big a bus could be driven through. State law, OTOH, such as California, protects the consumer and holds telcos accountable with quantifiable repercussions if compliance is not met. Telcos can't have that so they prefer a toothless federal bill to be enforced by an even weaker FTC. -- The Toll

 |  EPS join:2008-02-13 Hingham, MA | Well I can understand some arguments for national regulations- all major cell-phone carriers operate nation-wide, and to have to operate to fifty different sets of standards could theoretically cause problems- the trouble comes when the national "regulations" just remove the consumer's rights. | |
