Verizon Urges Uniform Handset Unlocking Rules

Verizon representatives urged uniform handset unlocking rules, during a meeting with an aide to FCC Commissioner Anna Gomez. “The ad-hoc, asymmetric locking policies that currently apply to some providers and not others result in an uneven playing field, reducing wireless competition and ultimately harming consumers,” said a filing posted Thursday in docket 24-186: “Whatever handset locking policy the Commission adopts should apply uniformly to all wireless providers.”
