Agreed.  However we are starting to see the states asserting their rights.

    While you may successfully argue that
      cell phones are not one of the powers granted by the constitution
      to the federal government, that means nothing to them.  The
      federal government ignores the constitution whenever they feel
      like it.

                      What am I doing?



                      Well, I've NEVER bought a cell phone.  Carriers
                      don't appear to be regulated.


                      I've waited half my life just to see "Do Not Call"
                      enforced at a Federal level.

                        Yes, I agree.  The question is,
                          "What are you
                          doing about it?"  An inch at a time.....

                              however this is what a run away government
                              does.  We pay for our
                              phones with those two year contracts.  Our
                              rates would be lower if
                              they did not "subsidize" our phones. 
                              These phones are our
                              property.




                              Hold onto your seat.  This is just an
                              example of how a run away
                              government is going to treat it's people. 





                              This is not freedom, this is bondage.




                              Th article says in part:




                              The worst-case scenario for an individual
                              or civil offense could be as
                              much as a $2,500 fine. As for those
                              planning to profit off of the act or
                              a criminal offense -- such as a cellphone
                              reseller -- the fine could be
                              as high as $500,000 and include prison
                              time.
