I think in this case Congress involvement was a bit uncharacteristic and populistic. We see so many issue in this area, and they are stepping in for a relatively minor issue on a platform which is generally most resrictive and protective?
I would rather see them stepping in and kicking AT&T (and friends) for 20c cost per SMS, non-free incoming SMS and abolishment of bulk SMS plans. Just recently I wanted to sign up for 100 for $5 plan, it's not there anymore, the only bulk plan left if $20 unlimited. This is ridiculous oligopoly and consumer exploitation.
