Flat Wireless, a Texas-based company, has filed a complaint with the FCC over roaming rates charged by Verizon Wireless.
Flat said Verizon’s data rates are “unjust and unreasonable in absolute terms and in relation to charges assessed by Verizon Wireless for similar services to its retail customers, MVNOs, and to international roaming partners.
The company said Verizon is violating the FCC’s data roaming rules, which are required to be “commercially reasonable.”
Last year, the FCC said it would intervene in instances where companies could not agree on roaming rates. It has four benchmarks agains which rates are compared, though the FCC does not set the actual rates.
Verizon hasn’t responded publicly to Flat Wireless’ accusations.
