<span class="gmail_quote"><br></span>I am disappointed. I wanted the FCC to support "open networks" and "open services" as well. I really hope Google wins this thing...for the sake of projects like ours.
<br><br>In today's society, we are at the mercy of Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, etc. in terms what we are required to pay for mobile phone and internet access. I am not a fan of regulation myself (the reason I support open source products) but by providing those 4 open requirements, I think it would really help to cut down on some of these monopolies.
<br><br>Honestly, I feel it's ridiculous that this "utility" is not better managed. So many great innovations would come from having an open mobile network (that does not have a primary objective of making money).
