Wireless rules

Didn't they intentionally make the wireless rules weak? Contract disputes belong in regular courts, not public FCC bluster about things they do not have authority over.

Why does Wheeler have a backbone about these things that will accomplish nothing but advertising to make him look good?

Wasn't there a condition to not throttle on 700Mhz spectrum? Tmobile and Sprint don't have 700Mhz so don't have that restriction.

the ability of their customers to use the devices and applications of their choice on the licensee’s C Block
network,” subject to narrow exceptions.
P. Michele Ellison, Enforcement Bureau Chief, said, “This case was the first of its kind in enforcing the
pro-consumer open access obligations of the C Block rules. It underscores the agency’s commitment to
guarantee consumers the benefits

So the FCC does have authority. Wheeler is doing his job and Verizon is trying to squirm out of the agreement claiming it's network management.
Thank you for the correction and understanding of the details.
