Free Press Calls for More Competition in Wireless Market

Free Press, Consumer Federation of America, Consumers Union, Media Access Project, New America Foundation and Public Knowledge filed comments with the Federal Communications Commission for the agency's annual report on competition in the wireless market. The filing highlights numerous problems in the wireless industry that limit consumer choice, raise prices and slow innovation. The groups also point to data that show reduced growth, investment and innovation in the market because of a lack of competition; they go on to suggest a comprehensive evaluation of the wireless market by the FCC.
