Not necessarily. Some of the FCC's questions are simply about clarifying policies. Maybe the average consumer won't read through (or care about) a list of prohibited app or app categories, but it sure would help developers.

That's nice and all, but no one is forcing developers to support Apple and AT&T either. Apple was never really thrilled with the idea of having third-party developers. Let's not be too patronizing to AppStore developers -- they all knew (or should have known) what they were getting into. Apple's agreement has always put developers at their mercy.

No one is forcing Apple to develop for public airwaves, either.

Would we really be any better off if they never had? Even considering the App Store policies which are objectionable to some?
