FCC proposes rule to require wireless providers to unlock cellphones within 60 days, promoting competition and consumer choice.

The FCC has proposed a new rule requiring wireless providers to unlock cellphones within 60 days of activation, aiming to increase competition and consumer choice. The proposed regulation would provide users with greater freedom to switch carriers, as they would not be locked into their existing provider. The FCC is seeking comments on the proposed rule and its potential impact on smaller service providers and phone resellers.
