If we couldn't use past and current info to analysize/predict company's performance and future, what we can use then? Why investors use company's financial reports, events, and many of other factors to measure its stock's performance?
Open device or network? I think the first step for verizon to adopt so called "open device and open network" before switching to LTE is to stop crippling its own current devices' bluetooth, GPS and UI. You can't expect Verizon to change its closed/self-centered/conservative business model over night to adopt this toally new business idea. Unless the business philosophy that Verizon's management had been using since GTE changes completely, I don't think it will make too much difference when they switch to LTE. It is because their business philosophy directs management's actions and influences their decisions on business events.
@Penpower: Couldn't agree more. Until I see VZW stop crippling the devices they DO offer, hard to have ANY faith they won't in some way limit "open access" devices on their 700MHz spectrum. They'll just find some loophole in the rules.
Well considering VZW is required to provide open access to the 700mhz band your whole issue with VZW disabling features on handset is pointless. You will be able to unlock any LTE handset and activate on VZW or AT&T's network so why are you bitching????
Both of you completely missed the point of the open access... wow
You don't want a device strait from VZW? That's fine, with open access, you can buy the device strait from Samsung, LG, etc and put it on VZW's network yourself.
