Verizon Wireless To Open Network To Apps, Devices
Last update: 11/27/2007 10:11:53 AM

Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES

NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Verizon Wireless said Tuesday that it would
allow any device or software to run on its wireless network as it
heeds the industry call for more openness.
It's a reversal for the No. 2 U.S. carrier, which is known to be the
most protective of its network, and an acknowledgment of the direction
of the wireless industry. Google Inc. (GOOG) is spearheading a similar
move with an open-standards software platform - dubbed Android - and
already counts Sprint Nextel Corp. (S) and Deutsche Telekom AG's (DT)
T-Mobile USA as allies.
"I think it's a reaction to Google," said Tole Hart, an analyst at
Gartner Inc. "I think it'll help them. It gives customers more
options."
