Looking at Tech Dirt's related articles from 2007, I cannot find any articles about "Bush's FCC" implementing the open platform regulations in question.[1]
The problem is that Obama's FCC did nothing (also not discussed by Tech Dirt, aka lying by omission) so that only one nationwide carrier, Verizon, remained bound by mandatory unlocking.
> US journalism is a clown show
Tech Dirt is little better than propaganda, defined more by what they omit than what they do not. Chatbot summaries, including of the reports and orders in question, are immensely more informative. I suspect even Deep Seek would give a clearer picture of reality.
Verizon sure does love being the worst company. At this point I think it might be a fetish. My hope of having a competent and activist FCC are dead at this point. They have one job and they still can't pull it off. Maybe need to add some insulation from industry.
You mean bans on recent industry affiliation and cooling-off periods? Like the recent federal vaccine committee (ACIP) under Trump? If I understand correctly, the current ACIP members have pretty good insulation from the vaccine industry. I would uh guess that uh many people would disagree that such a disconnect with industry results in better outcomes.
