I'd LOVE to see some competition. I'm tired of the price fixing going on with wireless companies. Every year, they jack up prices, extend contract times, take away features, decrease service, and make more empty promises. I'm sick of it. I bought unlimited data from Verizon. They do not allow you unlimited. They have changed their measurements in the middle of my contract. I'm not abusing it, but the fact that they can just change the rules in the middle of the contract? If I did that, they'd sue me, send my account to collections, and file reports with credit-reporting agencies. ]]>Jul 31st 2007 3:21AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/without my consent, of course. ]]>Jul 31st 2007 8:23AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/
Google is getting extremely large, but I do believe that they would work toward the public interest better than a huge ass telco would.]]>Jul 31st 2007 4:31AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/Jul 31st 2007 5:47AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/
I want to know what google has up their sleeves.]]>Jul 31st 2007 7:52AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/
HA! Allow me to paraphrase the old line that warns against trusting the government too much:

"We're from the phone company, we're here to help."]]>Jul 31st 2007 10:06AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/
that, and T-Mobile was the last of the big 4 carriers to raise their SMS prices, in addition to already having offered completely unlimited messages for $14.99 for several years now (something the other big companies are only just now getting around to, and at higher rates... HMMMMM)

But of course, that's irrelevant isn't it?

Hopefully T-Mobile'll get some of the open network and keep it open.]]>Jul 31st 2007 12:39PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/07/31/verizon-backs-limited-open-access-700-mhz-auctions/
