Verizon Sues Nextel For Espionage
jonknee writes "Verizon is going after Nextel for a little corporate espionage. Verizon says that Nextel got its hands on some internal prototypes of models aimed to compete with Nextel's Direct Connect technology. Verizon's service is slotted to start up anytime, and a few other carriers are expected to launch similar services."

And why isn't someone out there filing suit against verizon for extortion, or unfair competitive practices?
.10 to a $ each month for no apparent reason.
Has anyone out there simply tried to get a simple phone line? It's near impossible! I just want a flat rate phone line that won't call to 'extended local areas' (.20 a min) that don't require an area code. Or how about the caller id/call blocking features they sell to consumers that they then turn around and sell anti call blocking to telemarketers?
I don't think I have to spell it out for any one, but we all know how verizon uses it's power to leverage the telecommunications industry and the government. They work harder so we can be further confused by our phone bills that each month only seem to go up and up and up.
Nextel is one of my only bills that seems to stay exactly the same each month. While my all my other communications bills seem to go up
Nah it's simple, the prototypes arrived in the Nextel offices by osmosis.
This would be better described as diffusion. A phone is not a solvent, therefore it should not be referred to as osmosis. I always hated the fact that they used that Garfield poster ("I'm learning through osmosis") in schools, when it is generally incorrect.
verizon is behind the times once again, BitTorrent is the best p2p application !
