http://www.ctia.org/rss/index.cfm/rsstype/indtopics/TID/43 CTIA-The Wireless Association® opposes regulating the Internet under the guise of "net neutrality." No one can explain clearly and convincingly why regulating the Internet is necessary or helpful to U.S. consumers. On the other hand, everyone - including the companies asking Congress to regulate the Internet - agrees that competition, and more of it, is good for consumers, good for the economy and important for this country's ability to bridge the digital divide. Wireless is a competitive industry and consumers enjoy the greatest number of choices among services, devices, calling plans and coverage areas in the entire telecom industry. Wireless consumers also pay some of the lowest prices for wireless service and devices in the world. For these reasons, CTIA opposes the recent attempts to supplant competition and market discipline with heavy-handed, anti-consumer regulation. en-us 2009 CTIA - The Wireless Association http://www.ctia.org Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:36:24 -0500 http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/080717_Ex_Parte_LNP_Interval_FINAL.pdf (Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/080717_Ex_Parte_LNP_Interval_FINAL.pdf Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/080718_Ex_Parte_Commissioners_re_TCPA_Complaints.pdf (Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/filings/080718_Ex_Parte_Commissioners_re_TCPA_Complaints.pdf Fri, 18 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://files.ctia.org/pdf/080414_Common_Short_Code_Reply_Comment_FINAL.pdf (Legal Activity) http://files.ctia.org/pdf/080414_Common_Short_Code_Reply_Comment_FINAL.pdf Mon, 14 Apr 2008 00:00:00 -0500 http://easylink.playstream.com/ctia/progressive/podcasts/theroadto4g_final_4_08.mp3 (Multimedia) 4G wireless technology will mean 24/7 broadband connectivity.
