WLNP Showdown
I'll tell you right now: don't read this article about how all sides in the Wireless Local Number Portability issue are scrambling to advance their cause. Politicians are politicking, carriers are lobbying, the CTIA is spreading FUD, Verizon is playing a hedge, and only Consumer's Union is speaking for the consumer. All in all, nothing is happening. Expect to hear a lot more noise but not much of real import over the next few weeks.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
