HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- It has to be one of the most frustrating situations: canceling your contract with your wireless phone company. However, that could soon change.

The government is quietly negotiating to help cell phone customers avoid those expensive fees when they cancel their contract.

Right now, cell phone companies charge customers $175 or more for dropping their service early.

Under a new proposal to the FCC, wireless providers would give customers the opportunity to cancel service without any penalty for up to 30 days after they sign a contract.

Customers could also drop their services up to 10 days after they receive their first bill.

But, it's important to point out, this deal would just cap fees, but would not abolish cancellation fees entirely.

Are your allergies acting up again? According to one group in New Mexico, you could be allergic to wireless Internet signals!

The group of electro-sensitive people in Sante Fe claim putting up Wi-Fi in public places like libraries is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The group claims they're highly sensitive to certain types of electric fields including wireless Internet and cell phones.

They say it even gives them headaches and chest pains.

The city attorney is now checking to see if putting up Wi-Fi could be considered discrimination.
