The California Public Utilities Commission today voted to replace the existing bill of rights for telecom consumers with one far less regulatory and highly dependent on state enforcement, which is billed as a victory for telecoms.
“The decision is apt to renew efforts in the Democratic-controlled California legislature to pass a telecom consumer bill-of-rights law along the lines of the Brown rule that was effectively eviscerated today in San Francisco…Brown called the new Kennedy-Peevey bill of rights “an inducement to massive, pervasive and unaccountable fraud” and a “deception designed to hoodwink the public into thinking the PUC is actually protecting them.”
