It's free to join and MyWireless.org will help keep you informed and let you know what you can do to fight back. About MyWireless.org® Their Mission MyWireless.org is a national non-profit consumer advocacy organization giving more than 270 million American wireless consumers a powerful and unified voice to protect the freedom, value, convenience, security and mobility they enjoy with wireless service. MyWireless.org brings together consumers from across the country to protect their wireless rights in their cities, states and nationally. Protecting Our Wireless Freedom Every day, millions of American consumers take advantage of wireless technology, and every day it becomes more a part of our daily lives. Wireless keeps families and friends connected, helps business deals get done, and even saves lives. The future of wireless promises even more as communication, entertainment, business, speed and functionality converge. However, unfair and excessive taxes and regulations on wireless threaten the innovation, value and choice wireless consumers enjoy today, especially for those on fixed budgets – like seniors, working families and small businesses. More than 270 million Americans – that’s about 85% of the population – enjoy the personal freedom that wireless offers. The average wireless consumer pays about 15% in taxes and fees – more than DOUBLE the tax rate for most other goods and services. MyWireless.org gives those consumers a unified activist voice to impact policies that affect them, and to protect the affordability and accessibility of wireless for all Americans. Fighting Excessive Taxes and Harmful Regulation Wireless offers consumers more choice, value, and innovative products and services, than ever before. But, unfair and excessive new taxes and regulations on wireless are threatening to decrease those consumer benefits. Unfair and excessive wireless taxes and fees exceed 24% in some states, and average about 15% combined nationwide. And further unchecked, taxes on wireless services continue to increase much faster than taxes on other goods and services. Complicated and costly regulations raise prices and add hassles for consumers, without improving the quality and coverage of their service. American wireless consumers use their device every day to stay connected with family and friends, to be more productive at work, and in case of emergency. MyWireless.org has now empowered more than 1.4 million consumer activists around the nation to help defeat unfair and excessive wireless taxes and regulations throughout the country. In 2009, MyWireless.org will continue to educate consumers about harmful wireless taxes, fees and regulations in their cities, states and in Washington, D.C., and provide the online education and outreach tools to make a difference in protecting their wireless freedom.
