Verizon promises to play by the 700MHz open-access rules

Google’s been making all kinds of a fuss lately over what it claims are Verizon’s plans to subvert the intent of the 700MHz open-access rules, but it looks like the carrier isn’t interested in fighting it out (for once). Verizon issued a statement today saying that it “understood the FCC’s rules,” and that “of course we’ll abide by those rules.” Of course, that doesn’t really mean anything until Big Red actually builds out a network and we see how it implements open-access — which will take years — but once again, it seems like Google is really the one in control of the 700MHz spectrum, even though it didn’t win. Crafty!
