Worried that Verizon's complaints about the open-access rules in the upcoming 700MHz spectrum auction would shake things up in a negative way? As of now, your anxiety is apparently unfounded. According to The New York Times, Verizon Wireless has "abandoned its legal challenge of the Federal Communications Commission's rules for its auction of radio spectrum, removing a potential obstacle to the much-anticipated sale." Interestingly, there's not a lot of backstory as to why the carrier suddenly decided that pressing on wasn't in its best interests, but we'll accept the white flag, regardless.[Via ZDNet]
Isn't CTIA suing the FCC for the same issues now?
Yes that is correct but the Anti-VZW Clan @ Engadget forgot to address that part of the store along with the rason why VZW drop the suit.

F Verizon and now F CTIA.
I love Verizon... best phone company in the US.
If Verizon is the best phone company in the US, what does that say about the state of phone services here? Really sad. Verizon must have received a promise of something from the Bush Administration if they backed off.
