According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Representative Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, is introducing the Next Generation Wireless Disclosure Act. The Act would require carriers to disclose a long-list of details about the network, including minimum data speeds, network reliability and coverage, and specifically what technology is being used to provide "4G" service. The 4G term has been used and abused by carriers ever since the ITU essentially declared that it can be described to use pretty much anything faster than carrier pigeon. "Consumers deserve to know exactly what they're getting for their money when they sign up for a 4G data plan," Eshoo said in a statement. Such bills typically have a very difficult time making it through the carrier lobbyist gauntlet.
