First- the Code is still on the CTIA website, and its presentation has
actually been enhanced.

Second- the "biggest" past of the new legislation- a 30 'back out' period on
a contract, is already in practice by all of the major carriers.

Third- all of the information now 'required' was required before upon asking
for it.

Fourth- putting hundreds of lines of contract in a specifically sized font
does not make it any less difficult to read, and does not make the language
of the contract change.  Read any carriers' TOS- with the exception of
section titles, the rest of the contract is in one font size exclusively.
Font size does not cure the consumers' laziness in reading it.

Fifth- with Phil living in Texas, this has no effect on him, or any of the
rest of us not residing in CA, excpet for the fact that will ultimately pay
for it through our rate plans.

Bottom line- this legislation did nothing for the consumer.  Phil's biggest
complaint about the CTIA Consumer Code is not even addressed- nothing about
coverage maps.  All  this did was allow all cellular users (not just the
ones in CA) to ultimately fund a new layer of state government in CA.
Ultimately, it will probably be overturned, as the legislature has singled
out a single industry (which they have no regulatory control over) to
dictate the terms of doing business.  Political grandstanding at its best.
