what's the story on OpenMoko? I have a hard time seeing the FCC directly saying something like that, and google isn't showing anything...

Some follow-on and related projects:

* GTA04 by OpenPhoenux (http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/)

* Neo900 (http://neo900.org/)

* QTMoko (http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/)

* SHR (http://shr-project.org/)

The OpenMoko project sort of fizzog'ed, but you can get a good kick out of the OpenPandora (and new: OpenPyra) projects, which the GTA04/neo guys have helped along a bit, I think ..

That was an attempt at a Linux-based phone before Android. It is very old (close to 10 years?).

Was more wondering about the accusation that the FCC shot down the effort. Google seems to show that it launched something, can't find any trace of controversy

The project itself didn't fail because it – that was just due to Android being more attractive by the time it was working –, but they never managed to opensource the baseband firmware for that reason.
