MIKULSKI CALLS FOR KILLS SWITCHES ON CELL PHONES TO PROTECT CONSUMERS’ DATA
LANDOVER – Maryland Sen. Barbara Mikulski wants to give control back to consumers when it comes to protecting personal and financial information stored on mobile devices by requiring manufacturers to install a “kill switch” that would render phones useless if stolen.
Mikulski announced legislation to that effect Thursday in the wake of a surge in cell phone thefts at Washington Metro stations.
The Smartphone Theft Prevention Act that Mikulski is supporting would require carriers to have a security feature on all cell phones that would allow victims of theft to deactivate the device from a website and remove personal information.
sure am glad babs is on top of this one. we sure need the government to tell these idiot phone companies what to do. its not like they haven't screwed up everything they have touched
She's for anything that cost more money. Don't think this will be free. The phone companies don't do anything for free. Phone users will pay higher rates for this. Every time government gets involved in anything it costs users more money.
We have the best phone service in the world 8:37 in spite of the government. It would be even better if government stayed out of their business.
haha for a second there I thought this little turd was lining up against the NSA. Silly me.
