Skype Asks FCC to Level the Playing Field
Consider this
In order for this to work properly each manaufacturer is going to have to make every phone compatible with all applications, and
they're also going to have to make every phone compatible with GSM and CDMA, which is possible considering the current iden/cdma hybrid phones.

Yeah well consider this as well. If that is the case and everyone thinks that company A is better than the rest for the network, customer service and prices, and everyone switches over to company A. Companies B-through the rest will go out of business since they are not making any money. Once it is just company A running the entire cell phone industry, what do you think will happen to the prices of their services when they don't have any competition? Their customers can't call in and be like "Oh, I am going to cancel because you guys suck so I am going to go to company B!" Company A will laugh at them and tell them there is no company B, and they can either cancel and go without, or they can suck it up and poor out the money to keep the...
