    Speaking of events… Can’t let a event like verizon rejecting the FCC’s wish for consumer freedom open-access rules, go by without pointing this out to Robb for some comments.

    This is typical verizon backroom, courtroom games which are anti-consumer. Then also followed by the typical verizon FUD to try to make verizon appear to those not in the know that at verizon “We never stop working AGAINST you”

    It never never ceases to amaze the amount of verizon sheep who have no clue the truth about the company they are paying to be their service provider. verizon also played these same games suing over WNP. AT least till word got out and consumers learned the truth….

    hellno: I have to agree with you that it seems pretty snarky of Verizon to actually oppose the auction of open access spectrum. It’s not like Verizon isn’t free to compete against whatever service is put out over that spectrum and then let the markets decide. It clearly seems to be a move by Verizon to limit their own competition and hence consumer choice.

    In some sense I’m starting to believe that in the long term Verizon will need to make some pretty considerable changes in order to survive. First, they will need to get away from CDMA and onto the global standard, GSM, or whatever technology emerges from the GSM evolution. They are too used to succeeding only in a very controlled and closed operating environment and I don’t think they’ll be able to keep it that way.

    Thought,

    Are absolutely right. Verizon is a one trick pony. Granted their trick, err ugmm, their network, is still strong enough to keep them going in the short run, they will need to come up with a whole bag of tricks as soon as GSM coverage is percieved as being as Verizon’s.

    At the end of the day, most wireless subscribers could care less about what company they go with so long as they get good coverage, good rates, and good devices and thus far, Verizon has only got one of those areas covered.

    Robb,

    verizon might or might not have one of those areas covered. The bigger issue is verizon’s constant anti-consumer culture. All those perceived strengths / FUD mean nothing when the company which is being paid to be a service provider constantly cripples, removes functions and features from customers devices. Whats the use of the mythical “it’s the network” when customers are restricted from using it freely? Whats the use of the mythical “it’s the network” which is built of proprietary, closed technology which because of what it is, is not available globally. A proprietary technology which severely limits it’s worth to device designers and manufacture, and is technology which is made by qualcomm to restrict consumer freedom. Whats the use of verizon’s constant lawsuits trying to further restrict consumer freedom? Whats the use of verizon’s constant union busting? All things that verizon has come to embrace as it’s anti-consumer corporate culture. The real truth about verizon stinks and is certainly NOT a business worthy of respect in any way.
