Verizon bought the spectrum with full knowledge that it was to be open to third parties. Perhaps Verizon shouldn't have spent the money if they aren't willing to honor the spirit of the agreement. Not like the terms were buried in fine print.

Course, maybe Hell froze over and Verizon ends up being 100% open. :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20445260 Wed, 07 May 2008 11:49:32 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20445077 Jameson : Why?

Heck, they only played a game of manipulation to get what they want, and they expect Verizon to spend 100s of millions of dollars to build the 700mhz network for them to use.

I fully, expect Verizon to try to screw everyone, because to the victor go the spoils. They won the auction, they will implement what they want to implement. If google was really heart set on "open access" then they should have ponied up the dollars and won the auction.

Now we all get to enjoy paying extra for non crippled phones.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20444889 Wed, 07 May 2008 10:46:53 EDT
