The cable companies and Commissioner Powell (before he was Chairman) argued that as long as some 3rd parties were offering cablecard boxes, the cable companies should be able to offer closed boxes — after all, consumers would theoretically have an open alternative and why should the cable companies be required to build higher cost boxes.

Incumbent telecom companies hate open devices. From Carterfone until now, the key to competitive telcom markets is mass availability of open devices.

If they lower themselves to the same [ gutter ] level as Verizon and start down the pay-to-play…err, I mean “campaign contributions through reputable lobbyists” path to get their way, they’ll have lost by doing evil.
If they don’t start bribing…oops, I mean “contributing” the telcos will have them removed from the auction.

The real future is in WiMax – wireless broadband internet service nationwide. When the WiMax network is complete you can throw out your proprietary cell phones and simply buy one that works on the “open” internet protocol. You can already buy internet phones today – go to Skype.com and click on “Shop.”

Goodbye Verizon Wireless – you’ve taken my money long enough!
