Ban On Importation Of Certain Handsets
The United States International Trade Commission announced an importation
ban on handsets containing certain baseband processor, transmitter,
and receiver chips and chipsets. They claim"The decision flies
in the face of public policy that encourages the availability of
broadband services and products, and could have the unintended effect
of impairing the wireless industry's efforts to improve communications
in areas such as public safety. Consumers should not have to pay
the price for legal debate that could be settled by other means."
The response from CTIA "This is not good for the industry
or for our customers, and the fact that the decision is being made
by the ITC, which is not made up of experts in this field, is just
plain wrong!"
