Cricket Wireless re-launched at nearly 1,000 Walmart stores Tuesday, offering lower prices, 4G LTE service and smartphone exclusives. Walmart exclusives from Cricket include the Samsung Galaxy Express for $99.88 with activation and the Moto E for $49.88 with activation, Cricket said. Plans are up to $15 less per month than previous Cricket plans through Walmart, starting at $35 per month with a $5 auto pay credit, Cricket said.

CTIA filed an infographic at the FCC showing the competitiveness of the U.S. wireless industry in 2013, relative to 2010 when the FCC imposed the first net neutrality rules. It said smartphones were eight times faster in 2013 than in 2010 and data traffic grew 732 percent during the period. “The facts noted on the infographic are clear: the wireless industry is robustly competitive and innovative, and is working for Americans and America’s economy,” CTIA said in the filing in docket 14-28 (http://bit.ly/1sGLJ9x). CTIA opposes a move by the FCC to impose stronger net neutrality requirements on mobile broadband than were imposed in the 2010 rules (see 1409160019).
