Sweet!! per a slashdot article:

A number of readers are letting us know about Verizon's plans, announced
today, to open their nationwide wireless network to devices that they don't
sell. A NYTimes blog posting puts VZW's announcement in industry context.
>From the press release: "In early 2008, the company will publish the
technical standards the development community will need to design products
to interface with the Verizon Wireless network. Any device that meets the
minimum technical standard will be activated on the network. Devices will be
tested and approved in a $20 million state-of-the-art testing lab which
received an additional investment this year to gear up for the anticipated
new demand. Any application the customer chooses will be allowed on these
devices."
