FCC Mulling 'Bill Shock' Warning System
Really???????
[as carriers in Europe are required to do], this is NOT Europe as much as Obama wants it to be, it,s not. Come on people take responsibility for your self. We do NOT need the government to hold our hands in our daily lives, or at least I DON,T.

This is the FCC making the requirement, not the President.
I think this is a brilliant idea. It's a service that the cell carriers would roll out to alert people about over-use. Why would you be opposed to it?
While people should be responsible for their own bill, so many end up running huge bills accidentally or because their kids use data.
At least come up with a good argument against it other than finding something completely irrelavent to blame Obama for.

IF the system is easy to implement (as in your sign up for alerts like are offered now for minute overage) I see downside to this program.
The fact of the matter is many customers are not educated enough at the point of purchase. Just because you and I understand this system doesn't mean everyone will.

The alerts on a good idea, but as a personal opinon, we are very very bad consumers. We dont want to take the responsibilites for our actions.again MY PERSONAL OPINON.... 😎

I am as conservative as they come. I'd love to blame Obama for anything, but this dog don't hunt. Yes, he is head of the executive branch, and the FCC falls under him. But, he would have had zero input over this decision.
More importantly, this isn't the government getting further involved in our lives. This would be a valid form of regulation over the telecom industry.
We all understand how the billing system works. But you'd be amazed at the number of people that end up with large bills and don't know where they come from. I'm just thankful that Sprint caps data charges at $75.00, which prevents some of the insanity. That doesn't help with the 75 year old lady that decided to use her cell phone instead of her home phone, and didn't...
