Google criticises Verizon for 700-MHz lobbying

294w ago - Google has came out swinging once again against telecommunications player Verizon Communications in the companies' ongoing debate over the upcoming auction of the 700-MHz wireless spectrum band.

In an entry on the company's policy blog, Google's Washington media and telecom counsel Richard Whitt criticized Verizon for reports that the telecom company is heavily lobbying the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to change the newly established "open access" provision to the auction.
