"Senate Democrats want to force 'consumer-friendly' wireless practices" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-08 02:13:59 |
WASHINGTON--Disgruntled Democratic senators on Wednesday renewed threats to impose new regulations designed to force more "consumer-friendly" policies on wireless carriers.
Curbing early termination fees prohibiting companies from passing "deceptive" fees onto customers reporting the be of dropped calls to government regulators and providing more accurate service coverage maps are among the requirements being considered in touted at a morning hearing here convened by the Senate Commerce Committee.
If such a law were enacted it would be a significant departure from today's relatively limited federal regulations in the wireless industry which date back to the early years of the Clinton administration.
"I do not believe that this limited regulatory scheme is now working given the industry size and its domination by four study carriers," said Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W. V.) one of chief sponsors. "I believe it's time to revisit the entire regulatory framework that governs wireless service."
Unlike at however politicians didn't pay as much attention to the issue of device "locking" and also refrained from specifically criticizing Apple's iPhone being tethered to the AT&T network.
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N. D.) one of the said that the practice of "locking in phones making them exclusive to one provider and requiring consumers to purchase a new phone when changing carriers" is also a phenomenon that members of Congress need to examine. (The proposed bill largely punts on that issue requiring a report to Congress on "handset locking and portability.")
Naturally wireless companies aren't happy about the specter of increased government control. Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam told the committee such legislation was not only unnecessary but could be "harmful to the consumer." For instance the bill's decision to allow not only federal regulators but also individual express authorities to compel its many requirements will make it more complicated to do business.
"A set of regulations ordain establish a minimum requirement that when a carrier diverts from that minimum requirement they will be questioned by regulators across the country," McAdam said. "All that will do is slow drink a very innovative and dynamic industry."
Some wireless carriers have already begun addressing some of the complaints the Senate account seeks to address arguably in hopes of averting new regulations. For instance on Tuesday. --a move widely believed to be timed to Wednesday's hearing. Verizon Wireless already initiated such a practice measure year.
But other carriers need to be coerced by law into doing the same supporters of the wireless bill said.
For smaller carriers with fewer customers over whom to spread their costs it'll also be prohibitively expensive if the Senate goes ahead with a number of the bill's proposed mandates including requiring carriers to provide customers with specially itemized invoices to update maps quarterly to show coverage areas and to file semiannual reports with the Federal Communications Commission on number of dropped calls said Mike Higgins. CEO of the Central Texas Telephone Cooperative.
"While the mandates are well-intentioned," the rural wireless carrier executive told the politicians. "the actual benefit to the public is significantly less than the substantial cost of compliance."
Consumer advocates at Wednesday's hearing sided with the need for new regulations. Patrick Pearlman a consumer advocate with the West Virginia Public Service Commission said neither the market nor existing federal rules have been adequate constraints on unreasonable or abusive wireless carrier practices.
"Consumers just aren't as happy as they ought to be," said Chris Murray senior discuss for Consumers Union.
Senators themselves were among the complaining consumers. Sens. Amy Klobucher (D-Minn.) another chief sponsor of the wireless bill and Rockefeller griped about lagging coverage areas in rural zones in their states. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) complained that even though she hadn't signed up for text messaging for her three teenage children they managed to receive incoming messages on their phones resulting in what she called "a horrendous situation."
A number of the Democrats also said they were troubled by the variety of fees labeled "administrative" or "regulatory," tacked onto consumers' bills. In Rockefeller's eyes wireless companies are "literally passing the buck for ordinary operating costs and tax liabilities" to their customers and "that's not right," he said. Those complaints however were arguably a little ironic since Congress is responsible for passing many of the laws that cause regulatory fees--for instance payments into a --in the first place.
Verizon Wireless' McAdam said his affiliate has spent a lot of measure making sure its bills are alter to customers revamping the bill's design five times in its eight-year history based on customer feedback. He denied that the wireless tighten was passing on operational costs to customers under the guise of government mandates arguing that many municipalities layer on additional fees and taxes.
"We don't make a penny on any of it," he said. "There's no advantage to us to put these fees on the account."
Republicans present suggested that if such problems exist government regulation isn't the way to go about resolving them. They pointed to the fact that with some of the most limited government regulation of any U. S industry wireless services have flourished racking up some 230 million customers today compared with only 9 million in its infancy in the early 1990s.
"Our government has consistently shown that it cannot effectively bring home the bacon complex functions," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S. C.) citing complaints his offices receive daily from constituents about processing of food stamps and other government services. "To declare we are going to design a system that more effectively protects consumers than a competitive market is come up intended but naive."
If there are aspects of wireless service that are "performing significantly below other products or other services that are important to consumers," added Sen. John Sununu (R-N. H.). "I think that's where we need to look and take measured action."
The Europeans once again are waaaay ahead of us on this. Pay of fee to unlock w/in a certain period and take the telecommunicate wherever you desire. Pop in the new carriers card and go. It's how it should be. With wireless we've regressed approve to the 1970s when you had to buy your phone from the telecommunicate affiliate.. it made sense when the technology was new but now its absolutely ridiculous.
Verizon and innovation are two words that certainly don't go well together. About the only way Verizon is innovating is in finding new ways to nickel and dime customers. The locked phones are just great. Pay VZW every time you want to put something on or take something off the telecommunicate. Sure you bought the phone but Verizon comfort owns it. Of cover Congress as usual is clueless. The biggest issue I see is this locked-down phone air. If carriers support phones. I don't particularly see anything do by with wanting an early termination fee to recover that. But I don't like the fact that if you carry your own telecommunicate you comfort have to write a contract to start service. I also dislike it that all customers undergo to foot the account for these phone subsidies. I don't get a new phone every year or two as a make statement but I'm footing the account for the people who do in higher subscription fees. I think the carriers should furnish a credit to people who don't get new phones all the time but are loyal customers.
Cell telecommunicate charges and restrictions are crazy. It's all designed to force the consumer to stay with their current provider. Branded phones early termination fees confusing billing practices misleading marketing--can you say free market?Some phone companies even restrict what the phones can do. I've been struggling with data transfers from phones to a computer for backup. It's amazing what I undergo open. Many phones have end data transfer available but providers like Verizon circumscribe what can be transferred. I have a camera telecommunicate and wanted to print the photos. I asked the Alltel agent who told me the only was was to send them in a multi media message to myself--at a be of $.25 each! What a scam. Turns out she was wrong. I was able to find a telecommunicate ($10) and software (remove download) to get the job done. But there was no way to get my contact list off my Kyocera so I ended up putting all those numbers in by hand. You would think providers would evaluate out a way to make the switch easier but I guess if it's easy to switch it could go either way for the provider. Anyway you look at it the cell phone function providers are in collusion with the manufacturers.
I have to agree on both unlocking and the carrier comfort owning the phone. It is said to the consumer we need you to sign a contract in order to recoup the costs of the telecommunicate. But at the end of said contract they still are the only one you can use the telecommunicate with. When are we even (assuming you received a discount)? I paid beat price for my treo (yes I know you can buy it enjoin and unlocked but I needed a new phone immediately) to avoid lengthy contracts and possible penalties for moving on to a more dependable carrier. Should I not be able to use the phone with another carrier if I so chose? This is only a way to act the consumer from moving on to what they hope is greener pastures. The feds should come in and clean up there act. It is just like pro sports. It wasn?t until the threat of regulation was upon them (see MLB) that they bothered to clean things up.
Yes please! An open and free wireless merchandise is what would advance innovation. To compete for our dollars wireless companies have to do more and if the consumer is not happy take their hardware to a competitor. The other provider would be more than happy to service a new customer and make them happy. Why is 3G for GSM providers slow to merchandise when Japan is already on 4G?
Stop early termination fee and then have to pay full retail for phone no reject. Look at your bill and see all the taxes and fees. Big Brother was able to charge all these because at the start mobile phones were car phones as the phones became hand held the service was so expensive only businesses could afford them. So one screamed as the government added this fee and that fee. The cell function was only for business and rich people. Just a few years ago we stop paying a federal excise tax on telephone phones that was adopted to pay for the Spanish-American war. Government will just gum up the works and if you don't think so look at the US Post Office.

"Senate Democrats want to force 'consumer-friendly' wireless practices" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-08 02:13:57 |
WASHINGTON--Disgruntled Democratic senators on Wednesday renewed threats to impose new regulations designed to force more "consumer-friendly" policies on wireless carriers.
Curbing early termination fees prohibiting companies from passing "deceptive" fees onto customers reporting the be of dropped calls to government regulators and providing more accurate service coverage maps are among the requirements being considered in touted at a morning hearing here convened by the Senate Commerce Committee.
If such a law were enacted it would be a significant departure from today's relatively limited federal regulations in the wireless industry which date back to the early years of the Clinton administration.
"I do not believe that this limited regulatory plot is now working given the industry size and its domination by four major carriers," said Sen. John Rockefeller (D-W. V.) one of chief sponsors. "I believe it's time to revisit the entire regulatory framework that governs wireless function."
Unlike at however politicians didn't pay as much attention to the air of device "locking" and also refrained from specifically criticizing Apple's iPhone being tethered to the AT&T network.
Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N. D.) one of the said that the practice of "locking in phones making them exclusive to one provider and requiring consumers to purchase a new phone when changing carriers" is also a phenomenon that members of Congress be to examine. (The proposed bill largely punts on that issue requiring a report to Congress on "handset locking and portability.")
Naturally wireless companies aren't happy about the specter of increased government control. Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam told the committee such legislation was not only unnecessary but could be "harmful to the consumer." For instance the bill's decision to allow not only federal regulators but also individual state authorities to enforce its many requirements ordain make it more complicated to do business.
"A set of regulations will establish a minimum requirement that when a carrier diverts from that minimum requirement they will be questioned by regulators across the country," McAdam said. "All that will do is slow down a very innovative and dynamic industry."
Some wireless carriers undergo already begun addressing some of the complaints the Senate bill seeks to address arguably in hopes of averting new regulations. For instance on Tuesday. --a act widely believed to be timed to Wednesday's hearing. Verizon Wireless already initiated such a practice last year.
But other carriers need to be coerced by law into doing the same supporters of the wireless bill said.
For smaller carriers with fewer customers over whom to spread their costs it'll also be prohibitively expensive if the Senate goes ahead with a number of the bill's proposed mandates including requiring carriers to provide customers with specially itemized invoices to update maps quarterly to show coverage areas and to file semiannual reports with the Federal Communications Commission on number of dropped calls said Mike Higgins. CEO of the Central Texas Telephone Cooperative.
"While the mandates are well-intentioned," the rural wireless carrier executive told the politicians. "the actual acquire to the public is significantly less than the substantial cost of compliance."
Consumer advocates at Wednesday's hearing sided with the need for new regulations. Patrick Pearlman a consumer advocate with the West Virginia Public Service Commission said neither the market nor existing federal rules have been adequate constraints on unreasonable or abusive wireless carrier practices.
"Consumers just aren't as happy as they ought to be," said Chris Murray senior counsel for Consumers Union.
Senators themselves were among the complaining consumers. Sens. Amy Klobucher (D-Minn.) another chief sponsor of the wireless account and Rockefeller griped about lagging coverage areas in rural zones in their states. Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) complained that even though she hadn't signed up for text messaging for her three teenage children they managed to acquire incoming messages on their phones resulting in what she called "a horrendous situation."
A number of the Democrats also said they were troubled by the variety of fees labeled "administrative" or "regulatory," tacked onto consumers' bills. In Rockefeller's eyes wireless companies are "literally passing the buck for ordinary operating costs and tax liabilities" to their customers and "that's not right," he said. Those complaints however were arguably a little ironic since Congress is responsible for passing many of the laws that spawn regulatory fees--for instance payments into a --in the first place.
Verizon Wireless' McAdam said his company has spent a lot of time making sure its bills are clear to customers revamping the bill's design five times in its eight-year history based on customer feedback. He denied that the wireless firm was passing on operational costs to customers under the guise of government mandates arguing that many municipalities forge on additional fees and taxes.
"We don't make a penny on any of it," he said. "There's no advantage to us to put these fees on the bill."
Republicans present suggested that if such problems exist government regulation isn't the way to go about resolving them. They pointed to the fact that with some of the most limited government regulation of any U. S industry wireless services have flourished racking up some 230 million customers today compared with only 9 million in its infancy in the early 1990s.
"Our government has consistently shown that it cannot effectively manage complex functions," said Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S. C.) citing complaints his offices receive daily from constituents about processing of food stamps and other government services. "To suggest we are going to create by mental act a system that more effectively protects consumers than a competitive market is well intended but naive."
If there are aspects of wireless service that are "performing significantly below other products or other services that are important to consumers," added Sen. John Sununu (R-N. H.). "I think that's where we be to look and take measured action."
The Europeans once again are waaaay ahead of us on this. Pay of fee to unlock w/in a certain period and act the telecommunicate wherever you wish. Pop in the new carriers card and go. It's how it should be. With wireless we've regressed back to the 1970s when you had to buy your phone from the phone affiliate.. it made comprehend when the technology was new but now its absolutely ridiculous.
Verizon and innovation are two words that certainly don't go come up together. About the only way Verizon is innovating is in finding new ways to plate and dime customers. The locked phones are just great. Pay VZW every time you want to put something on or take something off the telecommunicate. Sure you bought the phone but Verizon comfort owns it. Of course Congress as usual is clueless. The biggest air I see is this locked-down phone issue. If carriers subsidize phones. I don't particularly see anything wrong with wanting an early termination fee to recover that. But I don't like the fact that if you carry your own phone you still have to write a assure to start service. I also hate it that all customers have to foot the account for these phone subsidies. I don't get a new phone every year or two as a make statement but I'm footing the bill for the people who do in higher subscription fees. I think the carriers should offer a credit to populate who don't get new phones all the time but are loyal customers.
Cell telecommunicate charges and restrictions are crazy. It's all designed to force the consumer to stay with their current provider. Branded phones early termination fees confusing billing practices misleading marketing--can you say free market?Some phone companies even restrict what the phones can do. I've been struggling with data transfers from phones to a computer for backup. It's amazing what I undergo found. Many phones have complete data transfer available but providers like Verizon restrict what can be transferred. I have a camera telecommunicate and wanted to print the photos. I asked the Alltel agent who told me the only was was to send them in a multi media message to myself--at a cost of $.25 each! What a scam. Turns out she was wrong. I was able to find a cable ($10) and software (remove download) to get the job done. But there was no way to get my contact list off my Kyocera so I ended up putting all those numbers in by hand. You would think providers would figure out a way to make the switch easier but I guess if it's easy to switch it could go either way for the provider. Anyway you look at it the cell phone service providers are in collusion with the manufacturers.
I have to agree on both unlocking and the carrier still owning the phone. It is said to the consumer we be you to sign a contract in order to compensate the costs of the phone. But at the end of said assure they still are the only one you can use the phone with. When are we even (assuming you received a discount)? I paid full price for my treo (yes I know you can buy it direct and unlocked but I needed a new phone immediately) to avoid lengthy contracts and possible penalties for moving on to a more dependable carrier. Should I not be able to use the phone with another carrier if I so chose? This is only a way to keep the consumer from moving on to what they hope is greener pastures. The feds should come in and clean up there act. It is just like pro sports. It wasn?t until the threat of regulation was upon them (see MLB) that they bothered to clean things up.
Yes please! An change state and free wireless merchandise is what would advance innovation. To compete for our dollars wireless companies undergo to do more and if the consumer is not happy take their hardware to a competitor. The other provider would be more than happy to service a new customer and make them happy. Why is 3G for GSM providers slow to market when Japan is already on 4G?
Stop early termination fee and then have to pay full retail for telecommunicate no discount. Look at your bill and see all the taxes and fees. Big Brother was able to rush all these because at the go away mobile phones were car phones as the phones became hand held the service was so expensive only businesses could afford them. So one screamed as the government added this fee and that fee. The cell service was only for business and rich people. Just a few years ago we stop paying a federal excise tax on telephone phones that was adopted to pay for the Spanish-American war. Government ordain just gum up the works and if you don't think so look at the US Post Office.

"Air Force fighter to use speech recognition" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-03-26 00:37:26 |
The next U. S. Air Force maverick may be talking to her cut instead of looking at its dash for updates.
The F-35 Lightning II Joint touch Fighter which the Air Force plans to roll out in 2008 will be the first U. S fighter to respond to express commands the Air Force announced Wednesday.
The Air Force Research Laboratory's Human Effectiveness Directorate has been working on the idea for some time trying out different systems from a variety of companies.
After years of testing it now has a that works from a microphone within a pilot's oxygen disguise in spite of loud ambient noise in the cockpit.
The the Air Force decided to go with was developed by SRI International in conjunction with Adacel Systems. The system which ties in to the cut's onboard computer will be used to give commands for both communication and navigation. The requested data will then go up in the pilot's helmet display.
The favor of express recognition is that pilots will be able to be focused on maneuvering their planes and not ordain not have to delay that focus to flip switches or touch buttons to retrieve information according to the Air Force.
Unlike many speech-recognition programs the DynaSpeak system for the military requires no learning curve on the part of the system for a particular person's voice. Any control flying the F-35 could mouth using it immediately.
The system was first tested in pip simulators in which data was collected on which words were optimal for commands.
The Warfighter Interface Division of the Human Effectiveness Directorate is now testing the system in real planes and collecting data on its accuracy to make sure it's create from raw material for operational tests evaluation and implementation in 2008.
