Verizon Wireless isn't happy with the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 700 MHz recent open-access rules and has filed a lawsuit which creates uncertainty with the upcoming auction of the more than a thousand wireless airwaves licenses. However, the mobile-phone industry was caught off guard when AT&T unexpectedly supported FCC Chairman Kevin Martin’s 700 MHz plan. |  |
The FCC open-access plan requires winning bidders of the 22 MHz worth of licenses permit any device and application on their networks, as long as they don’t harm the networks. This is something that Google, Frontline Wireless, Skype, and others lobbied for along with wholesale mandates in the 700 MHz spectrum which wasn't granted by the FCC.
