Sprint Can be Judge and Jury
For those of you having difficulties with billing, here is an article about the FCC's regulation of cellular companies.
If you're wondering why mobile phone carriers get away with imposing blatantly unfair policies, there's a simple reason: No one stops them. If the carriers were to be stopped, the Federal Communications Commission would be doing the stopping. But when a carrier is accused of misbehaving, the FCC has a simple procedure for adjudicating the claim: It simply asks the cell phone company if it's guilty. When the answer is “no,” the case is closed. Imagine a world where judges simply ask defendants accused of stealing if they are guilty. The jails would be pretty empty. So it is with cell phone companies. I know this first-hand. Let me share my story of an encounter with the FCC’s kangaroo court after a deeply troubling incident of being billed for months after I’d closed my account. The complete article can be found here: Codehttp://redtape.msnbc.com |

Re: Sprint Can be Judge and Jury
Interesting article. Unfortunately, the author is completely right. However, one thing I know about life is "pick your battles." Dealing with corporations and unfair practices is one of those that I avoid because there are enough frustrations in my life. So, I read a little fine print, and learn hopefully enough to avoid this kind of thing. So props on the article, cause now I know, and knowing is half the battle!:PDT_Armataz_45:
