Verizon Wireless has stunned the wireless world by announcing that by sometime next year it will open its network to any apps, any device.
There is a lot of fine print, but the essence appears to be that Verizon will offer two flavors of service: its traditional bundle, which typically includes a subsidy for phone purchase and various other features, and bring your own device service, which will be open to any device that meets minimum technical standards.
NICE! Finally, some freedom in the cellphone game. I mean, why do I have to wait 2 years to get a new phone, when the only phones I can afford are cheap ones that break in a year anyway?
