Verizon Wireless is Being an Anti-Competitive Ass → just like Ma Bell

It's back to the days where they seemed to claim you'd bring down the whole city's telephone network if you connected your own phone to your phone line, instead of the set they wanted to lease to you. AFAIK, the Nexus 7 has been FCC approved. It is proven that these slabs operate just fine if an already activated SIM is put in them, so the only real hurdle is bureaucratic BS.
