Representatives of major carriers will testify before Congress on wireless competition issues. The Senate Judiciary Antitrust Subcommittee announced it will hold a hearing on the topic, taking place Wednesday at 10 a.m. in 226 Dirksen. Witnesses are Verizon Communications Executive Vice President-Public Policy Randal Milch, Mobile Future Chairman Jonathan Spalter, T-Mobile Senior Vice President-Government Relations Thomas Sugrue and C Spire Wireless Senior Vice President-Strategic Relations Eric Graham. Subcommittee Chairwoman Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., will preside over the hearing, and she told us recently she planned to hold a subcommittee hearing before month’s end focused on whether carriers should be required to include a kill switch on wireless phones to disable a stolen device. She has introduced legislation to that end, which CTIA has criticized.
