DOJ probes wireless companies

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating possible collusion between Verizon, AT&T, and GSMA, a mobile industry standards-setting group, according to the New York Times. The DOJ is looking to see if the trio has prevented users from switching carriers by blocking a technology company known as eSIM, which lets people remotely switch wireless providers without having to insert a new SIM card into the device. In an email to Fox 5, the Justice Department would neither confirm nor deny the investigation.
