Earlier this week, Google filed a request with the Federal Communications Commission asking that the regulatory body monitor Verizon Wireless’s use of 700 MHz spectrum licenses it acquired in the recent spectrum auction to ensure Verizon adheres to openness requirements set out by the FCC. Basically, Google wants to make sure access to Verizon’s 700 MHz spectrum really will be open to any device and any application, not just ones Verizon approves.
Reports of the delays, which initially sent Motorola shares down more than 5 percent on Friday, come on the heels of the surprise resignation last week of Motorola’s chairman and chief executive, Christopher Galvin, amid differences with the board.
Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc , said Friday it had been expecting the V810, with built-in digital camera, from Motorola for the crucial fourth quarter. However, it will not be ready until the first quarter now.
“They just don’t have a camera phone to sell during the fourth quarter,” Verizon Wireless spokesman Jim Gerace said.
