The Future for Smart Phones: More Choice
July 20, 2007
Kudos to Kevin Martin, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission. Under new rules that he is proposing, any wireless carriers that want to use the wireless airwaves that the government is auctioning off next year (space created by 700 TV stations that are going digital this year) will have to allow consumers to use any smartphone they want. No longer will they be forced to use equipment sold and maintained by the carriers that control the broadband. What this would mean, according to Martin, is that "you would be able to use any wireless device and downoad any mobile broadband application, with no restrictions."
