FCC Wants A Better Explanation from Verizon On ETFs
Why doesn't the FCC look into the manufacturer's??
If I were the FCC, I'd be looking into why those "advanced devices" cost so much money. $599.99 full retail for a Droid?? Same for a Blackberry Storm 2. I find it difficult to believe that a mass produced item such as mentioned actually costs that much. If a phone comes out with a completely new technology that's never been seen before, then I could see raising the price up initially (like dvd players, blu ray, etc) but then drop down as the technology becomes more common. That would like end this whole debate.
I really think the FCC has no business in the matter, but that's just my opinion. 😁

I remember the full retail on the Samsung I830. It was like $800. It NEVER dropped.

Well, thats the whole retail thing, go into Best Buy, TV retails for $2800 and they sell it for $1459.00. If phones were sold on the open market, not here and there on the net, unlocked, for both the gsm and cdma market, you wouldn't see a $549 (or whatever) Moto Droid. Only mandate if they pass fcc certifications, the carriers have to allow you to use them. None of the major carriers would want this.
And to be honest, many of the consumers at first wouldn't want to lay down the costs of a phone, even though in the long run it would be in their best interest, Company pisses ya off you go, vzw to sprint, att to tmo, and vice versa. The big four would go nuts. But it would do more for CS and service then the present system.
