WASHINGTON, Oct. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In response to the bill proposed by U.S. Senators Richard Blumenthal, Al Franken and Sheldon Whitehouse that would attempt to overturn a 2011 U.S. Supreme Court decision that said binding arbitration clauses in mobile service contracts was lawful, CTIA-The Wireless Association® Vice President of Government Affairs Jot Carpenter issued the following statement:

"The proposed legislation is a misguided effort to overturn a well-reasoned U.S. Supreme Court decision. If the sponsors really want to help consumers, they should spend less time on stimulating the market for trial lawyers and more time working to free additional spectrum that can be used to deliver world-class wireless broadband service to American consumers."
