Verizon has petitioned the FCC to abolish the 60-day phone unlocking requirement instituted after its C-Block spectrum acquisition. Citing reasons that include an inability to deter fraud and the burden on regulations, Verizon argues that longer lock periods would enhance consumer affordability and market competition. They believe eliminating this regulation is essential to align with recent FCC initiatives. The request also comes amid broader discussions about competition in the cellphone service industry, as FCC has also proposed similar unlocking rules for other carriers.
Verizon argues that the 60-day phone unlocking rule benefits fraudsters, calling it an outdated regulation that hinders competitive practices and affordability.
The company suggests that extending the lock period aligns with the FCC's initiative to eliminate unnecessary regulations and will enhance competition.
