California Adopts New Wireless Regulations

California on Thursday became the first state in the nation to adopt consumer protections for cell phone customers, after a four-year tussle with the industry.

Supporters say the reforms will make wireless carriers more accountable by forcing them to do a better job explaining rates to customers and to provide better service. In one of the biggest changes, dissatisfied consumers will have the right to cancel their wireless service within 30 days of signing a contract.
