- nknighthb 13y agoUnless something has changed, the article you linked to is basically the end of the story. Despite promises, Verizon has not moved to permit the Nexus 7 on their network, and there is no easy/useful enforcement mechanism to make them do so. The provisions are effectively toothless.
