AT&T Defends Itself Against Government Review
Commissions next?
Are they going to look at how they have defrauded their sales team out of commissions? If I was the US Gov't I would wonder why it is okay to take commissions away from a salesman up to SIX months after a sale. I didn't know that I could dictate how a customer can spend their money up to six months after I originally saw them.
Maybe they can look into VZWs shady commission system? Or how about insurance claims being limited to two per year? Or can we look into "hidden fees" next? Wait, I know, how about getting the government to fix the tax system on commissionable earni...

Personally I wish the government would get their own greedy hands out of everything.

I'm served by 3 carriers? Or 6 even?
Um... what kind of BS statement is that. I'm taking it literally, so if someone wants to look into what he could possibly actually mean, I'm open to suggestions, cause we all know that's a load of gigantic BS. Most people have 1 phone/carrier, but some business people have 2... but 3? Or even 6? WTF.
He means people have the option to choose one of any number of cellphone providers in any given area. There is noway AT&T is doing anything wrong, every prided offers it's "exclusive phone"
Sprint=Pre
T-mobile= G1 / myphone
Verizon= Storm

Every state is required to have at least two primary service providers, usually one of the majors like ATT, VZW, Sprint, TMob, etc. In many areas there are more smaller carriers like MetroPCS, Long Lines, Cricket, Virgin, Boost, etc.
He means that most people have a choice between at least 3 carriers to provide them service, not they have service WITH at least 3 carriers.
Lets take that rural county I have my current store in.
We have:
--Verizon (the only company that bothered putting 3g here)
--ATT (nearest corporate store, still on EDGE though)
--IMMIX (a local GSM carrier that roams off of the ATT towers they ...

AT&T= iPhone
all of these phones are leading the way in how people use their handsets. I am posting this from my iPhone!
If the senate continues it's investigation it will only hurt the consumer by causing the wireless providers to raise prices to fight the FCC in a legal battle. Not to mention how samsung, lg, and HTC will react when they have to make GSM and CDMA model of every phone they want to sell here. I hope everyone wants to pay 2-3 times as much for a phone because that's what's going to happen! Say goodbye to your "free phone"

It won't take away innovation. No one will force the manufacturers to make CDMA and GSM models of each phone. It will eliminate exclusives for each phone, allowing whomever is willing to pay for them to carry them.
