'devastating effect on wireless innovation.'
A flat out lie from someone with a vested interest in keeping his fledgling "monopoly alive". Stand aside butt-wad, the train is coming through.

Oh, by the way, the last vestige of Bell Labs is now for sale: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/14/realestate/comme rcial/14bell.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
We want companies to be encouraged to make efficient use of the network, so we don't cross over and use up all the capacity of the networks." Counters Jeff Pulver, the founder of Pulver Media, saying that (FTA) "unlimited bandwidth use in the wireless world is needed because access to the network is what spurs innovation."
Uh-huh. right. efficient use of bandwidth gets us a whole bunch of other ways to stream "American Idol". Gaaak.
