NARUC asks CTIA to coordinate on code of conduct

WASHINGTON-State regulators Tuesday urged the Cellular Telecommunications & Internet Association to coordinate CTIA’s soon-to-be-released voluntary consumer code of conduct with wireless best practices resolutions passed last month at the National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners Conference in Denver.

“That the industry has worked to formulate its own code is commendable. However, the ideas in both of our resolutions will certainly improve the industry’s work. We strongly encourage CTIA to incorporate all of the ideas and principles in those resolutions into its code,” said NARUC President Stan Wise of Georgia.

CTIA has scheduled a press conference for Sept. 9 to unveil its consumer code of conduct, which RCR Wireless News first made public in February.

In a letter to CTIA President Thomas Wheeler, NARUC said “a similar effort to create such a voluntary code has been a topic of discussion at NARUC meetings for over a year now.”
