Happy Wednesday everyone Well today on my mind is an iphone. I read an article today about a hearing to open up the iphone as well as other exclusive phone to all providers. A few small companies have teamed up and decided that they if a item is only available to one company it is not fair competition and they are taking it all the way to D.C. . They have appointments set up with the Federal Communications Commission, the Copyright Office, the Federal Trade Commission, and congressional leaders, asking them to outlaw exclusive handset and software deals. This will be very interesting and of course will be an up hill battle for them because most of the people who benefit from these deals are going to lawyer up and they are going to fight it all the way to the top. This type of situation could cost some of the wireless providers a lot of $$$$ which is major revenue loss. They will not take this one sitting down so I hope the smaller companies are ready because this will be a true battle. I know tech junkies like myself could only dream of getting my hands on the iphone, I love the phone but I can’t take the AT&T service so something like this would be great for me not so good for the companies involved. This will be interesting I added the link to the article so you can read. Leave a Comment.
