The Cell Phone User Bill of Rights

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has introduced this week legislation called The Cell Phone User Bill of Rights. Schumer's bill seeks to keep cell phone users from falling victim to kinds of anti-consumer practices that plagued local phone customers and have allowed a handful of companies to dominate local service.

According to an article in the Mercury News, the bill advocates common-sense solution, but has little chance in passing -- at least not without major watering down, given the wireless industry's heavy spending on campaign contributions and lobbying.
