CHAIRMAN MARTIN’S STATEMENT ON OPEN HANDSET ALLIANCE’S PLANS 
TO INTRODUCE AN OPEN PLATFORM FOR MOBILE PHONES
I was pleased to hear the announcement by the Open Handset Alliance of the plans to introduce 
an open platform for mobile devices.  As I noted when we adopted open network rules for our 
upcoming spectrum auction, I continue to believe that more openness—at the network, device, or 
application level—helps foster innovation and enhances consumers’ freedom and choice in 
purchasing wireless service.
