Unreasonably short unlocking requirements benefit international criminal rings engaged in device trafficking and fraud — not legitimate American consumers. Granting this waiver will provide an important tool to deter criminals and relieve the load on law enforcement. Thanks for the support, @NationalSheriff!

💯 No reason to let a decades old rule prop up international criminals profiting at the expense of American consumers! It’s time to bring this regulatory experiment to an end and create a level playing field for competition!! 🔥💪🔥

Organized handset trafficking is rising—and it’s costing U.S. companies billions. Criminals are exploiting regulatory loopholes, particularly the FCC’s outdated “Unlocking Rule,” to traffic U.S.-origin devices worldwide. What was meant to protect consumers now fuels international crime and burdens law enforcement. Verizon’s submission to the FCC demonstrates a common-sense step to disrupt trafficking networks, strengthen supply chain security, and protect consumers. Our policies need to reflect today’s threats. ➡️fcc.gov/ecfs/document/105193…
