Open devices: consumers should be able to utilize their handheld communications device with whatever wireless network they prefer

Yes! I've been waiting forever to have the same choices on wireless that I have on my landline phone. I can choose the make, color, features, price - whatever I want. Come home and plug it in. And it works. Nobody telling me that because I live in this town, or use this carrier, I can only choose between 2 or 3 of the hundreds of choices that are out there.

I'll never believe that the restrictions that have been imposed were not primarily to make somebody richer than they need to be.
