The executive director of the Communications Ministry has frozen a recommendation to initiate reform in bills for cellular telephone service.
Under the reform, a customer would have to object to having a bill sent electronically instead of being printed. Currently, a customer has to actively ask for the bill to be sent by email. The freezing of the reform was requested by Chairman Eitan Cabel of the Knesset Economics Committee, who explained that the reform harmed weak customers such as the elderly and haredim who have limited access to the internet.
