| All in all..
Everyone is just too sue happy these days. No matter what the FCC does, there's always going to be some sort of wording loophole or some policy that someone doesn't like. If ISP's put all this money they're spending on legal matters into their infrastructures, we'd be a lot better off. |

| Yeah, seems like that it's the only way a company thinks it will survive is to just sue everything in sight. It's rather sad that all those resources are being wasted on such a thing when they could be used for much better things such as building out infrastructure etc.. |

Pot calling kettle black - Google sues all the time
Google posted a comment to their blog stating that:
"It's regrettable that Verizon has decided to use the court system to try to prevent consumers from having any choice of innovative services. Once again, it is American consumers who lose from these tactics." Seems like Google uses the courts all the time when it suits their purposes. It is a little disingenuous for them to whine about Verizon using the courts to protect their interests.

Pittsburgh, PA | VZ is simply protecting their investment...with their infrastructure in place...why should they share the billions they spend on spectrum with others...if Google wants to play the wireless game, then they need to play like everyone else. IMHO. |

| The FCC rules has nothing to do with sharing their spectrum with other companies. It's about allowing consumers to use any wireless phone they want instead of just the carrier approved models. It also will prevent them from crippling or blocking applications you run on your phone. |
