Many, not all, of the suggestions have already been implemented and some include giving customers a clearer understanding of their wireless services and fees, give the ability to unlock cellphones “on reasonable terms,” and giving the ability to set a cap on additional fees. Missing from the code is offering 2-year contract term rather than the long 3-year contract that exist today.
