Mobile telephony service.
Summary
Under existing law, the Federal Communications Commission licenses and partially regulates providers of commercial mobile radio service, including providers of cellular radiotelephone service (cellular) , broadband Personal Communications Services (PCS) , and digital Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) services (collectively, mobile telephony service providers) . Under existing law, no state or local government may regulate the entry of, or the rates charged by, any commercial mobile radio service, but a state or local government is generally not prohibited from regulating the other terms and conditions of commercial mobile radio service. Existing law requires mobile telephony service providers to provide certain customer and subscriber services. This bill would prohibit a mobile telephony service provider from directing a customer to a sales representative for the provider when the customer attempts to use the service to complete a telephone call to a person or business other than the provider.
