Voluntary Industry Guidelines


Best Practices and Guidelines for Location Based Services
These guidelines were created with the strong support of CTIA's carrier members and approved by by the CTIA Board of Directors. They are based on the information privacy best practices promoted by the Federal Trade Commission, and the document follows the now familiar structure that includes Notice, Consent and Safeguards.


Consumer Code for Wireless Service
All of the country's major wireless carriers and most regional and local wireless service providers have committed to the voluntary "Consumer Code for Wireless Service." It's the industry's effort to help consumers make informed choices when selecting and managing their wireless service. The Code's signatories must adhere to its 11 points, including commitments to disclose rates, additional taxes, fees, surcharges and terms of service; provide coverage maps; make customer service readily accessible; allow a trial period for new service; and provide free usage alerts to avoid unexpected overage charges.


CTIA Mobile Application Rating System with ESRB
CTIA and ESRB, together with the six founding storefronts and numerous developers, worked closely to create a developer friendly mobile application rating system that was also trusted by parents and consumers. Announced in November 2011, the CTIA Mobile Application Rating System with ESRB is an extension of CTIA's 2010 Guidelines for App Content Classification and Ratings.


Guidelines for Carrier Content Classification and Internet Access
To provide consumers with the information and tools they need to make informed choices when accessing content using a wireless handset, CTIA and the participating wireless carriers have voluntarily adopted the Guidelines for Carrier Content Classification and Internet Access.


Wireless Content Guidelines Classification Criteria
Mobile content will be classified as Restricted Carrier Content or Generally Accessible Carrier Content based on existing criteria used to rate movies, television shows, music and games.
