CTIA - The Wireless Association®: National Framework

CTIA-The Wireless Association® believes Congress should pass legislation that reinforces the national, deregulatory framework Congress established in the 1993 Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. Consumers will be best served if states are only allowed to take appropriate action relative to their laws of general applicability, and the FCC is solely responsible for regulating the wireless industry with regard to public health and safety, and consumer protection in the event of demonstrated market failure.
