| This isn't Open Access, but "Carterfone" principles This story is not 100 percent correct. What Martin is proposing is "Carterfone" like principles of freedom to connect devices.
"Open Access" would mean the spectrum license holder would have to provide wholesale access on a reasonably and non-discriminatory basis. If implemented, this would mean that multiple providers would offer service on the spectrum. What Martin has proposed means that only the spectrum holder will provide service, but they can't lock you into their devices. |

... What Martin has proposed means that only the spectrum holder will provide service, but they can't lock you into their devices. Reading the articles, I got the impression of net neutrality as the goal. That is, not only unhindered access to devices, but unhindered access to internet-based services as well. |
