Consumer Protection In The Mobile M...As the mobile marketplace phenomenon continues to burgeon a host of consumer protection issues are coming to the fore. What consumer protections are needed and who is best positioned to address consumer complaints and issues: Congress, Carriers, Commissions (FTC/FCC), Consumers, or Competition? The Federal Trade Commission, in its Mapping the Mobile Marketplace report, identified fee disclosures, cyber security, consumer privacy and issues related to Internet-enabled third-party apps. Location sharing is growing exponentially and it is less than clear where the regulatory responsibility for location privacy resides. Further, the recent Comcast vs. FCC decision seems to have many questioning the extent of the FCC's authority to address consumer issues on information services. Competition, industry-best practices and consumer awareness/education have long held a consumer protection role in this fast evolving space. The panel will look at the latest in mobile consumer protection issues. What is the state role in consumer protection? Opening Remarks by Daniel J. Weitzner, Associate Administrator for the Office of Policy Analysis and Development, NTIA - Steve DelBianco, NetChoice - Harold Feld, Public Knowledge - Grant Gross, IDG News Service (moderator) - Joel Kelsey, Consumers Union - Jackie McCarthy, CTIA
