@qwest.net | VoIP software?
Will Verizon allow VoIP software for international calling? |

They said 'any device, any apps' but I heard it reported that in a press conference they also talked about their design standards ensuring that malware is blocked from the network.
As VZ has historically cited network security as a justification for some of the lockdowns they employ, (e.g., the standard VZ UI on phones, no Java, etc.), I read this as a loophole statement leaving them open to blocking implementation of certain apps from approved designs on the basis that they have the potential to compromise network security. But we'll see. As I said, I'm very interested in seeing the actual design specs. when they release them early next year. |
