postheadericon Is Verizon Wireless Violating Its Promise To Be Open By Blocking Google Wallet?

You remember that in 2007, Verizon Wireless has promised to be more open with their network. In 2008, committed to a little more force of law when he won the block spectrum auction C-700 Mhz. Part of the auction rules were that if the offer reaches a certain level (a level which Google offers exactly), then there is no requirement to open the network. Of course, in recent years, people have seen Verizon Wireless and suggested that its promises of openness have been empty promises. But these promises are against the law?

was a story a few weeks ago saying that Verizon Wireless has been blocking the supply of mobile payments, Google Wallet, phone in the Galaxy Nexus, which led to the teacher Barbara Stanford Schewick ask the FCC to determine if Verizon Wireless is breaking the law.

Verizon
conduct undermines the overall approach of the Commission to open mobile internet with the dismantling of the protections of a portion of the spectrum in which to build "additional costs" in the approach to regulation by the FCC in this space. Without the application, the conditions are actually open to question. Verizon has violated these conditions earlier this year when it blocks the connection applications. Now is the blocking of Google Wallet. This new model of contempt for the license terms of the challenges the FCC to proceed with its commitments in the Decree on the open Internet to meet the conditions for the 700 MHz band and monitor the area for the mobile Internet abuses by incumbents.


While I agree that it is a bad idea for consumers, I wonder if it makes sense for the FCC to participate here. The FCC has always been very low in the enactment of telecommunications companies to do something wrong and I'm not sure that much is really happening here either. The most effective is to look at what the market is already done - and quickly find a way to hack Google wallet in your phone. Above all, this story reflects poorly on the Verizon Wireless and I would ask if I continue to use (if you did today, I did not). So while I agree it's a dumb move by Verizon Wireless, I'm not sure that it is crazy enough to reach the level that the FCC should attend
