According to reports from AP, the head of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) wants to regulate fees charged to cell phone users who cancel their wireless contracts early. At a news conference, FCC chief Kevin Martin said he supports regulating fees at a federal level, even if it affects a series of class-action lawsuits against carriers in state courts.
Consumers would benefit from a national standard that addresses many of the problems with the current fees system more than a potential lawsuit that may affect consumers in one state, Martin said.
