Ian Lamont writes "Google is so worried about Verizon Wireless' commitment to open access using the 700Mhz spectrum, that it's asked the FCC to get a pledge from Verizon that it will honor the FCC's open-access conditions before it sells the band to the carrier. Verizon won the auction for the nationwide C block of the 700MHz spectrum, but Google points to Verizon's alleged attempts to abandon the conditions, including a filing with the FCC that said the the commission 'could not force the C block winner to allow all applications on the network.' Could this be another expanding front in the Net Neutrality battle, or is time for the carriers to accept the fact that Net Neutrality is essentially a done deal, and carriers need to prepare for the next battle — developing software and services to run on open networks?"
