Mr. Smith can't talk now...he's tied up.
Hundreds of laws and regulations in states and cities across the country threaten to delay wireless innovation, reduce consumer choice and increase consumer costs. States and cities are also raising the cost of your wireless service by imposing unfair and excessive taxes and fees. You can help by urging your U.S. Representative and Senators in Washington to support meaningful telecommunications reform legislation in the new Congress, which would provide one consistent national policy and a three-year freeze on unfair new state and local wireless taxes.
With the 110th Congress now in session in Washington, D.C., legislators must renew their commitment to pass a real communications reform bill, including one consistent national policy for wireless services. Right now, each of the 50 states can govern wireless 50 different ways. Since wireless doesn’t recognize state borders, the hundreds of separate state taxes, laws and regulations in states and cities across the country are creating a confusing tangle for consumers. The result is less innovation, fewer choices among services, plans and providers, and ultimately higher prices for wireless consumers.
Along with the constant threat of unnecessary and inconsistent state-by-state rules, consumers often face a myriad of unfair new state and local taxes and fees on their wireless services. In fact, some states impose wireless taxes at double the rate of other goods and services. The U.S. Congress pushed a powerful communications reform package last Congress, but ultimately fell short of making new law. The new Congress can continue that forward progress with a new telecom reform bill that will ensure one consistent national wireless policy, and a 3-year freeze on unfair new state and local wireless taxes.
Please urge your U.S. Representative and Senators to support one consistent national policy for wireless and a freeze on unfair new state and local wireless taxes and fees. Urge your members of 110th Congress to support meaningful telecommunications reform legislation!
