Electronic Frontier Foundation Wants a Zero-Day Limit on Locked Phones

WASHINGTON, August 1, 2024 – The Federal Communications Commission has proposed requiring that all mobile providers unlock consumers’ phones within 60 days. But some groups say that’s too much time, and want the agency to require unlocking upon activation. 

The non-profit Electronic Freedom Foundations and other advocacy groups are among those seeking not 60 days, but 0 days, to unlock cell phones.
