The bill sounds good in theory but I'm not sure how much it would benefit consumers. Major carriers already sell plans that do not require a contract--they are sold under names likes Prepay, Pay as You Go, or FlexPay.

And I'm not sure why you would want to eliminate the subsidies. The subsidies actually REDUCE the price of the phone to the consumer. For example, you can buy a BlackBerry Pearl for $270 from NewEgg or you can get one for $99 from T-Mobile or AT&T when you sign up for a 2-year contract. That is a real savings of $170, which is a subsidy that favors the consumer.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
