Verizon Wireless Challenges FCC Auction Rules
If verizon doesn't want to play by the FCCs Rules...
Yes 700 get better penetration but verizon is doing just fine signal-wise without it. Work on not crippling every device on your network.
Verizon is worried about Google or Apple getting spectrum, as they should be. To sue the fcc shows their scared.
They do have a reason to challenge it and that is where Google and other companies can go against them to prove their case. We shall see what happens. Well every company could increase the penetration and spectrum is key for growth even if they don’t use it right away. 700 MHz does have its advantages but does have its disadvantages. Verizon should just go after 800 MHz and 1.9 GHz not 700 MHz. remember Verizon led the charge against Nextel and the Consensus Plan and the 1.9 GHz spectrum there.
I agree with your crippling point. In addition, they have data capping issues.
The whole reason there is a fight is because if everyone is using the spectrum at one time then it doesn't matter if you have a 3G phone or not because the traffic on the network will make it go slower, just like on your landline space. Right after work my home modem is slower than if I sign on at 1AM, that is just part of life. Verizon is fighting this because they want their CUSTOMERS to have a great experience and be able to use BROADBAND speeds on the network.
One more thing....There are problems with ATT and Sprextel and even Tmo...

If you actually looked at my posits, you can see that I bash every single company out there.

My issues with verizon is very simple, they [in my definition] cripple their phones.
As far as "crippling" devices, LOL!!!!!!
The company doesn't "cripple" their devices as much as the consumers do!!!!!
For example: "I bought the BlackBerry 8830 just because I'm a trend WHORE and I don't want data access on it because I'm a CHEAP poser that wants to play pretend!"
It doesn't matter that RIM, the manufacturer, REQUIRES that the Crackberry have always on access pushing crack mail to the consumer. Verizon requires the unlimited data plan because Verizon DOESN'T want you having a $50000 bill for having a device that is always on.
Or how about the people that REQUEST that their phones ...

That's not a Verizon issue, that's a DRM issue. Piracy is against the law. If Bluetooth allowed these transfers, piracy would be as rampant on the cell phone as it is on regular computers and movie videos.
By your logic you need to go lock your computer down so it can only run Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Internet Explorer MPAA Edition. Then you won't be able to run P2P software or any other software possibly used for piracy. Bye bye e-mail, bye bye open web access, bye bye ability to -use- your computer for useful tasks. That solves the problem, after all... That's sarcasm for those that didn't catch it. Try replacing "Microsoft XYZ" with "Incumbent Telecom XYZ."
It isn't about piracy ...

And since when is piracy by way of Bluetooth the carriers problem if they don't supply the content? Besides, bought ringtones are locked from BT on any phone from any carrier. And VZW doesn't want you to have high bills? So why do they have the highest rates?
In what world is transferring photos I took on my cell phone to my computer something that is bad? How is it that I cannot take a song I already own and use it on my cellphone? This has nothing to do with DRM, verizon chooses not to let you transfer songs to your cell phone. They can choose to NOT remove the OBEX [OBject EXchange] bluetooth profile from their phones like the manufacturers included but they want you to buy everything through their online system. That's a great business model to make money but very sh*tty towards consumers.

Verizon is the one being targeted because they're suing the federal government to make sure that airwaves are not open. Verizon, with its deep pockets, wants to buy spectrum and monopolize it, even if they don't need to use it.

Really? Data capping?
And HOW many times are you going to keep repeating this?
(continues)
Every carrier has capping issues for data, read the fine print. It's because carriers don't want people running servers off wireless networks. It would slow the networks down severely. Besides that's what landlines are for, oh wait. That would be EXPENSIVE so cheap freaks don't like that idea.
Every carrier has capping uses, but Verizon is the only company that I know especially from glimpsing at Cingular and Sprint’s restrictions, that actually provide a usage cap in numbers and gigs. (5Gigs to be exact.)
Carriers don’t want se...
(continues)
Verizon or any other company should be allowed to set limits as long as they don't list it as an unlimited plan. Not that verizon may be the only carrier to do this...
Verizon's not scared.... The cell business is already very competitve.

I never heard of that at all. If this were the case, RIM wouldn't allow providers to sell Blackberries AT ALL without a data plan. T-Mobile allows you to buy a Blackberry without the data plan so there you have it...
