Clyburn, O'Rielly Pleased With CTIA Stolen Phone Website

FCC Commissioners Mignon Clyburn and Mike O’Rielly said CTIA made the right move in establishing www.stolenphonechecker.org so consumers more easily can check if a used or refurbished smartphone was reported stolen or lost (see 1705110043). “Kudos to wireless industry for launch of consumer tool to help stop smartphone thefts,” Clyburn tweeted. O’Rielly said in a statement that it's “an example of the private sector addressing a need in a thoughtful and effective way.”
