Wireless companies enjoy a market nearly free of true competition in many parts of the country. Mergers and acquisitions -- along with anti-competitive practices like locked handsets and early termination fees -- keep you from voting with your feet.
Cell phones can work a lot better for less money and Congress can help.
Three simple reforms--phones that you can take with you when you switch plans, early termination fees pro-rated for your time on the contract, and improved innovation processes--will finally make cell phone companies compete for your business based on price and service.
Tell Congress you are fed up with cell phone "gotchas" and want more competition!
