Sorry, you can call the FCC all you like, but I'm quite certain that the nice receptionist that answers the phone will gladly take down your name and number for "someone to call you back" and then promptly toss it in the trash.
That's funny, when I talked to our rep a few days ago and asked about having it installed on a laptop I was ordering, she informed me that it was an extra $50 "labor fee" to get XP preinstalled.
The 6700 was a horrible POS smartphone. HTC didn't do a damn thing to fix most of the problems with the hardware or OS settings that were needed to work with that hardware properly. The "Mogul" (PPC6800) is a *little* better, but it's still problematic.
Have a look at the WM5 Treo to see what a quasi-properly set up smartphone should be.
all these people being awarded millions in payouts for nonsense problems are what's driving health insurance through the roof
Bullshit, greed is what's driving health insurance through the roof... and not on the part of the person filing the suit.
I'm not saying that the lawsuit lottery is right, but don't apologize for the insurance industry using it as a scapegoat to rationalize their outright fucking over of anyone and everyone that has to buy their products.
E911 is a convenient excuse, nothing more. They're killing it because they know Verizon will come after them as soon as they're done beating Vonage into a bloody pulp. AT&T has bigger pockets, and Verizon knows they'll settle so they're nipping it in the bud while they have the chance.
Corporations have state records about who they are, and who their registered agents are. Sole proprietorships do not.
Evidently you've never actually registered a Sole Proprietorship. You most certainly *do* have to verify your identity, and file forms with a government agency (in Illinois, it's the county clerk's office), and these records are generally just as availiable on a website as corporation's records are. I'll admit that some counties don't have online access to the records yet, but there are some states that don't either.
As a business, the only way to have a verifiable identity is to incorporate.
See above.
Because if you don't, you don't have a business identity to verify
Bullshit. Why should I be forced to spend more money when a Sole Proprietorship is JUST AS LEGITIMATE as a Corporation. Matter of fact, a lot of people tend to think that a sole prop. is *more* legitimate, from years of dicking from most major corporations.
Well, normally that's true, but this recording has 2 reps, a supervisor and a manager repeatedly telling him "yes, I see the note on your account" and "yes,.002 cents per kilobyte is the correct amount" several times.
If this went to any halfway competant judge, Verizon would probably get chewed out at the least, sanctions at the worst if they tried to pull the "he can't prove it!" card.
How do you expect them to vote well if they have no idea what is this all about ?
The same way they always do, listen to what the lobbyist tells them it means, and vote the way the lobbyist tells them to vote after the bribes... err... "donations" are made.

A standard implies that a specification or protocol is available to 3rd parties which is incorrect.
I still wouldn't necessarily call it a standard, but your assertion that there are no specifications available to 3rd parties is wrong.

FYI, consumer WiFi uses unlicensed radio spectrum, and is subject to FCC "Part 15" rules. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Title_47_CFR_Part_15

As far as I know not a single MMORPG maker has gone to court with people running private servers.

Why in the holy hell would you reboot a server to put a new install of BIND into service?
I think the term for a telco in this context is a "clear channel" provider or something like that.
The term you're looking for is Common Carrier

Now who looks stupid?
The act of "jailbreaking" an iPhone is not illegal, unless the _owner_ of the device has agreed to some TOS/EULA disallowing such an act.
No, No, NO! Why do people continue to perpetuate this?
Violating a company's EULA is not illegal. Period. Full stop.
illegal
-adjective
1. forbidden by law or statute.
2. contrary to or forbidden by official rules, regulations, etc.
-noun
3. Informal. illegal alien.
Tell me which law or statue I'm violating by doing something that isn't allowed by an EULA.

Anyone care to pass me the cage number so I can go visit my hardware and take some pics?

This is a very valid point. What's to prevent a new form of extortion from this?
"Send us $100 right now, or we DDOS your cable line and cost you $1000"
Not that much different from the file encrypting trojans, just a hell of a lot easier to do.
Other than the companies, who really has a legit use for the details behind an exploit?
Any user of that software that won't/can't/doesn't want to wait for the company to get off of their lazy asses and fix it, so they need a workaround.
