This is a campaign I am very interested in. It is a project of Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports, that aims toward
empowering consumers to fight for better and more affordable telephone, cable and Internet services or equipment. By focusing on major media, technology and communications issues and emphasizing local stories, HearUsNow.org will help explain increasingly complex issues and the connections between these issues, underscore what’s at stake, and offer ways to make
improvements.
It came to my attention as a result of its current campaign to liberate mobile phones from the exclusivity deals they have with cell phone providers. You know, the kind of deal that locks your iPhone and makes it unusable outside of the AT&T network, even long after your contract with AT&T has expried. Check it out. They will even help you write letters to your elected representatives, should you wish to do so.
