Kicking off their Open Development Conference, the first thing Verizon did was throw up a massive disclaimer about the FCC's anti-collusion rule on the 700MHz auction, which prevents them from talking about their bid. The presenter's smirk and chit-chat about the disclaimer definitely seems to imply they won at least something at the auction. Update: At the end of the ODC keynote, Verizon's CEO name-checks the 700MHz band as somewhere they saw a great potential for innovation. Safe to assume they got some piece of that action.
