Rep. Markey Proposes Universal Access Bill for Wireless

Rep. Markey has consistently been at the forefront of such things, and how he has proposed the Wireless Consumer Protection and Community Broadband Empowerment Act, which calls for the following:

• Adequate and plain English disclosures about contracts.
• Provision of more detailed coverage maps.
• Require the sale of plans without early termination fees.
• Require phone carriers to sell "subsidy free" phones.
• Give municipalities the explicit right to offer broadband services, preempting state laws forbidding this.

Seems like a good bill to me.
