Posted by timothy on from the you've-got-a-few-days dept.

ovrclokd writes "As a followup to the recent court ruling in their favor: through June 13th, the FCC is still taking comments on the CTIA petition for relief from the cell phone number portability deadline in November. Wireless carriers are apparently claiming that inability to keep from changing phone numbers when changing carriers isn't inhibiting competition - let's let the FCC know we don't agree!"

    FCC to the phone companies:


    "Please write your 'comments' on the back of a blank check made payable to 'Michael Powell, Chairman, FCC', and hand deliver the self-addressed envelope behind the 7-11 at 4th and Main next Saturday at 2 AM."
