This article explains what the regulators in USA are doing to ensure that consumers are protected fairly in the bills that they receive from their telephone companies. I believe that the regulator in Singapore (IDA) has already implemented similar measures - but I am not sure if they have done to the same extent as in the USA.
IDA hasn't done enough to protect consumers. Singtel is a lousy telecommunication provider. I have no choice but to stay with them during my contract plan term. Their services sucks, and i have to continue to pay for their suck services till my contract expire.
ReplyDeleteOnly partially, if you have a mobile plan u have no bill shock but if you are on data plan, u still can get bill shock. I was given a sim card for data plan in a bundle service but I dare not use it.
ReplyDeleteI think this bill is a reaction to massive overcharging by some US phone companies. Recently, a woman was handed a bill for US$201,000 for a month's cellphone usage. That's not a typo by the way. http://www.wsvn.com/features/articles/helpmehoward/MI93365/
ReplyDeleteAre you joking? Would the Royale Familee do anything to jeopardise their cash cow
ReplyDeleteExisting regulation is wayang only to show at least something is being done
More regulation = More fairness for consumers = Less unfair profits
