With Verizon seeking permission to lock phones to its network for six months or longer instead of the current 60 days, a coalition of advocacy groups yesterday urged the Federal Communications Commission to reject the cellular carrier's petition. "Phone locking distorts market competition, raises switching costs, and contributes to unnecessary e-waste," the groups said in a filing.
