The ''Cell Phone Freedom Act'' was introduced on June 17, 2010 in the Canadian House of Commons as Bill C-560〔Bill C-560 http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=4640240&Language=e&Mode=1〕 by Bruce Hyer, then the New Democratic Party Small Business Critic and Member of Parliament for Thunder Bay—Superior North. Bill C-560 was expired due to the government's defeat in March 2011. Hyer reintroduced the Cell Phone Freedom Act under the new session of parliament on November 3, 2011, as Bill C-343.〔Bill C-343 http://www.parl.gc.ca/LegisInfo/BillDetails.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&billId=5218290〕 == Provisions == The Wireless codes states that: * wireless phone companies must unlock handsets upon request, at a rate specified by the provider, when a consumer purchases a new phone outright (unsubsidized) without a contract; * wireless phone companies must unlock handsets upon request, at a rate specified by the provider, when a consumer comes to the end of their contract, or at any time thereafter. Under the proposed legislation, wireless service providers may still employ such locks on customer phones while under contract, so it is unlikely to impact the common practice of offering subsidized phones on contracts. As per the Wireless code F1: Unlocking: A service provider that provides a locked device to the customer as part of a contract must for subsidized devices: unlock the device, or give the customer the means to unlock the device, upon request, at the rate specified by the service provider, no later than 90 calendar days after the contract start date. Or for unsubsidized devices: unlock the device, or give the customer the means to unlock the device, at the rate specified by the service provider, upon request. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cell Phone Freedom Act (Bill C-343)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
