Here is the full text of the bill. It fails to address the DMCA at all, and I'm not sure I understand how it would fix the problem. It says that "the agent of such subscribers" should be allowed to unlock any devices, but if the primary way of doing that is illegal as per the DMCA, it's not clear at all what it would actually achieve.<p>---------------------<p>A BILL<p>To require the Federal Communications Commission to direct that wireless providers permit the unlocking of mobile devices.<p>SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.<p>This Act may be cited as the "Wireless Consumer Choice Act".
SEC. 2. FCC DIRECTION TO WIRELESS PROVIDERS.<p>Pursuant to its authorities under title III of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 301 et seq.), the Federal Communications Commission, not later than 180 days
after the date of enactment of this Act, shall direct providers of commercial mobile services and commercial mobile data services to permit the subscribers of such services, or the agent of such subscribers, to unlock any type of wireless device used to access such services. Nothing in this Act alters, or shall be construed to alter, the terms of any valid contract between a provider and a subscriber.
