Now it's Nextel's Turn
In all fairness it is not the state itself but a self appointed watch-dog outfit that is behind this unfair billing practice issue. It is an outfit called the 'Foundation for Tax-payer and Consumer Rights', which is based Santa Monica. The connection between the Cingular case and the Nextel case is rather clear cut.
This group cites "deregulation" as the cause for consumers woes and sees itself as rescuing folks from 'a major rip-off strategy.'
