Rep. Markey has consistently been at the forefront of such things, and how he has proposed the Wireless Consumer Protection and Community Broadband Empowerment Act, which calls for the following:
- Adequate and plain English disclosures about contracts.
- Provision of more detailed coverage maps.
- Require the sale of plans without early termination fees.
- Require phone carriers to sell “subsidy free” phones.
- Give municipalities the explicit right to offer broadband services, preempting state laws forbidding this.
Seems like a good bill to me.
