at&t

First it was Verizon (see Verizon Open Move — the Google effect, or pure marketing push?).

And now at&t is opening their networks.

Starting immediately, AT&T (T) customers can ditch their AT&T phones and use any wireless phone, device and software application from any maker — think smartphones, e-mail and music downloading. And they don’t have to sign a contract.

“You can use any handset on our network you want,” says Ralph de la Vega, CEO of AT&T’s wireless business. “We don’t prohibit it, or even police it.”

The Google effect is working!
