The bill had many good provisions, though, and it paved the way for the growth mobile phones in the US.

Moreover, its final votes for passage were 414-16 in the House and 91-5 in the Senate. It’s not clear Bill Clinton could have stopped it over the provisions you regard as problematic, and even if he could have he would not have done so. Bill Clinton’s domestic governing actions in 1996 were heavily influenced by his triangulation strategy, and he was not going to try holding the line against bills that were popular with both parties in Congress.
