Verizon Joins Open Alliance

Well it seems that the handset makers have got some company now in the form of a network provider – Verzion has joined up. Granted this is only interesting in the US, but it does suggest that people are starting to think in the telecom area that their service isn’t something that is so specialized as to lock others out. Granted that is the way that they can make the most money, but telecom should be like a general utility – any functioning client should be able to hop on (perhaps at a cost) – and it seems that Verizon might be thinking that way now.
