FCC is tasked with providing the public with rules and regulations on its
public carriers, including Verizon Wireless, that use the public's
airwaves and sell to the public services on those airwaves. This has
everything to do with the FCC, providing the public with an enforced
level of service over the area the FCC has licensed the carriers (or
their bogus network companies, it matters not) to provide. FCC regulates
the signal, regulates to minimize interference and is supposed to protect
the public it is supposed to serve against being ripped off.

IF the FCC did its job, it would matter not what Verizon's "business
practices" were. Unfortunately, I don't think the FCC has done its job
since the lawyers took over the FCC away from those staunch engineers
that provided great service to the public on their airwaves. The FCC now
acts like a park service that's auctioning off the forest it has been
tasked with protecting to the logging companies for money....the only
thing lawyers understand. We do still control the licensing of cellular
providers and can FORCE, if necessary, them to provide a decent level of
service to more than just the highest profit areas in the big cities.
