My my my....

Google sees lots of money in the wireless arena. They're going to do all they can to push their applications out by every means possible.

Google got a lot of publicity the first time around and is hoping to do the same thing now.

I too am for an open network, but I know Google is in it for themselves and not for the consumer. They want to maximize profits and will present their case to the FCC like they're fighting for us, but in reality it's for their own profit.

Verizon will allow their new network to be open up to unlocked CDMA devices and will allow Google apps to be sold through them. However, they'll continue to sell devices in tune with their current business model where they make the most of their money.

Google had the opportunity to buy airwaves. They then filled up the blog sites bragging how they got what they wanted and had no real intention of paying for anything. Now they are all upset and crying foul. I think Google should put up or shut up.

Re: My my my....

I don't like it at times but I can see why Verizon chooses to cripple phones.

They do have the best network arguably I think maybe not having to deal with 1 million open source geeks cramming the network with uneccesary traffic is part of that.

I had a Cingular phone prior to VZ and Sprint prior to Cingular.

Sprint sucked...hard especially out of PA. Cingular sucked in my town and got better the farther you left untill again out of PA.

VZ works no matter where I take it without any hassles, always has.

Worked in Jamacia, worked fine where even the VZ rep told me I might be lucky if I get a call out.

VZ won the bid and yes they must allow thrid parties but I think they will do it on their terms which IMHO seems well within reason.
