Tflop - The compromise bill of rights upsets carriers and disappoints thegovernor and advocates.By James S. Granelli, Times Staff WriterA divided state Public Utilities Commission on Thursday approved thenation's first "bill of rights" to protect wireless and othertelephone customers from deceptive marketing and billing.Concluding a four-year process, the PUC voted 3 to 2 on a compromiseproposal meant to assuage the objections of the largely unfetteredwireless industry. But it left consumer advocates dissatisfied,wireless companies upset and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger disappointed.Among other things, the rules provide a 30-day trial period allowingcustomers to test products and calling plans and to return themwithout paying penalties. The rules also require clearly organizedbilling, specific disclosures, and writing that is unambiguous and ina minimum 10-point type size. Deceptive, untrue and misleadingmarketing is prohibited.http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-puc28may28,1,1798145.storyhttp://www.freepress.net/news/article.php?id=3670
