Defending the Consumer Wireless Experience

If you're laboring under the misapprehension that there is a not a lot of consumer choice in wireless service or appliances, representatives from AT&T and the AT&T-supported Progress and Freedom Foundation will explain otherwise at the Senate Energy and Commerce Committee's "The Consumer Wireless Experience" hearing this afternoon. For persons not in the Washington area, the event is available on the series of tubes. Also testifying will be representatives from U.S. Cellullar (no service in Washington, D.C. area) and Cellullar South (no service in Washington, D.C. area), as well as Prof. Robert Frieden, Pioneers Chair of Telecommunications and Law, Pennsylvania State University, lately prominent for his paper, "The Spin in Broadband Statistics: Finding Ways to Make a Credible Assessment of Next Generation Network Deployment."
