Members the stranger Posted November 29, 2007 Members Share Posted November 29, 2007 Devices will be approved in a testing lab that the company has poured US$20 million into this year, company officials said in a press conference. Verizon Wireless will accept any wireless device that passes minimal connectivity tests, including gaming devices, vehicle-based devices and wireless handsets from competitors, company officials said."If someone has the technical capability of building something in their basement on a breadboard ... have at it," said Dick Lynch, Verizon Wireless' CTO.The open network should give small-scale device makers new opportunities, added Lowell McAdam, the company's president and CEO. In the past, it was difficult for Verizon Wireless to market devices that would sell less than hundreds of thousands of copies, he said. http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/139976/verizon_wireless_plans_to_open_its_network.html I caught this in a blurb last night and scoped Google.
