Until today’s waiver order, Verizon faced strict unlocking requirements that didn’t apply to other carriers. But that was by choice, as Verizon gained significant benefits in exchange for agreeing to unlocking requirements in 2008 when it purchased licenses to use 700 MHz spectrum, and again in 2021 when it agreed to merger conditions to obtain approval for its purchase of TracFone.

Businesses getting handouts. Consumers get shafted.

Ouch. Never had memory fail on me before *fingers crossed.

Fortunately I’m currently I’m happy with what I have. I think I’ll oulast this.
