Verizon files suit over 700Mhz rules

If I didn't know any better, I might be inclined to think that Verizon Wireless is a bit of a sore loser. As you'll recall, Google wanted the upcoming 700Mhz spectrum to be auctioned off sans regulations stipulating what users can attach to the network. And the tech giant got what it wanted, at least sort of. That might have been good news for the big G but it didn't put a smile on Verizon Wireless' face. Verizon has filed an appeal with a U.S. federal appeals court, claiming that the FCC's ruling "violates the US Constitution, violates the Administrative Procedures Act, and is arbitrary, capricious, unsupported by the substantial evidence and otherwise contrary to law." Yikes. Well...at least we know where Verizon stands on this contentious issue, eh?
