Friday, September 28, 2007; D02After facing criticism for blocking content on its network, Verizon Wireless yesterday reversed its decision to bar an abortion-rights group from sending text messages to Verizon subscribers.
The nation's second-largest wireless carrier said executives determined that the decision was an "incorrect interpretation of a dusty internal policy."
"The decision to not allow text messaging on an important, though sensitive, public policy issue was incorrect, and we have fixed the process that led to this isolated incident," Verizon Wireless spokesman Jeffrey Nelson said in a written statement.
Hopefully that means the fired the dummy that made the decision.
