According to the
Washington Post, the reason the FCC sent letters to AT&T and Apple demanding to know why they sometimes reject applications for inclusion on the iPhone is because it's the "FCC's way of putting a stake in the ground for making the wireless networks controlled by cell phone carriers as open as the Internet."
Somebody please strangle me now. The only reason the Internet is free is because government can't control it. If they could it would have been done by them long ago. Phone platforms are another matter. They can be controlled because they are managed from a central source. The feds want more control and therefore they are strong-arming AT&T and Apple to get that control. Why the Washington Post wants to confuse us and tell us lies is anyone's guess but don't be fooled. Our government wants increasing power and inroads into every aspect of our previously free lives and does not have "openness" and "freedom" in its vocabulary.
