<description><![CDATA[Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-Calif)(Credit:Rep. Anna Eshoo)As reported by CNET News, Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) who represents parts of Silicon Valley, has introduced the &quot;Next Generation Wireless Disclosure Act,&quot; which would require cellular carriers that offer 4G data services to provide consumers with accurate information about the minimum speed and reliability of the service.  An an interview, she said &quot;consumers are really confused about what 4G really is,&quot; adding that &quot;wireless companies right not throw around terms like 'lightening fast' and 'supercharged,' but their claims when examined closely don't always match up with reality.&quot; She said that the bill would &quot;provide consumers with the information that they need to make a smart purchase including pricing, minimum speeds and reliability.&quot; As CNET's Marguerite Reardon wrote last November, &quot;There is no question that wireless operators are playing fast and loose with their marketing claims.&quot; In a statement,CTIA Vice President Jot Carpenter said, &quot;We are concerned that the bill proposes to add a new layer of regulation to a new and exciting set of services, while ignoring the fact that wireless is an inherently complex and dynamic environment in which network speeds can vary depending on a wide variety of factors.&quot; Listen now:Download today's podcastSubscribe now:  iTunes (audio) |  RSS (audio)            Share     Print   E-mail            Larry Magid E-mail Larry Magid   Follow @larrymagid    E-mail Larry Magid If you have a question or comment for Larry Magid, you can submit it here.
