Free Press launches FreetheiPhone.org
for wireless freedom and real open
access across all mobile networks

WASHINGTON -- Today, Free Press launched FreetheiPhone.org
-- a campaign demanding an open,
competitive wireless Internet for everyone. Apple's iPhone -- locked
into AT&T's slow, closed network -- is a bellweather for the future of
mobile Internet. Bad policies have created an unhealthy wireless
industry where companies like AT&T and Verizon are gatekeepers over the
mobile Internet -- with the power to block competition and chain devices
to their slow-speed networks.

The FreetheiPhone.org campaign aims to
change all of that. In coming weeks, the campaign will urge Americans to
demand that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Congress
give them the freedom to use all Internet devices on any wireless
network in a marketplace that offers true competition, services and
consumer choice.
