CTIA-The Wireless Association Responds to ITC Importation Ban
WASHINGTON, DC – CTIA-The Wireless Association® issued this statement today regarding the United States International Trade Commission's announcement of an importation ban on handsets containing certain baseband processor, transmitter, and receiver chips and chipsets.
"CTIA-The Wireless Association believes today's decision by the International Trade Commission will cause enormous undue harm to tens of millions of American wireless consumers, and urges President Bush to veto the ITC importation ban. The ITC decision unnecessarily decreases competition, and denies millions of consumer's access to innovative wireless broadband products. This decision flies in the face of public policy that encourages the availability of broadband services and products, and could have the unintended effect of impairing the wireless industry's efforts to improve communications in areas such as public safety. Consumers should not have to pay the price for a legal debate that could be settled by other means."
