"Why Wired Uses Titles Referencing iPhone and Verizon and ending in a Question Mark?"
As for this case, this appears entirely analogous to the Carterfone decision.
Other folks can connect FCC-approved and unlocked gear onto 700 MHz without encountering a carrier prohibition (akin to what we have with wired telephone connections) while paying the 700 MHz carrier(s) for their services.
I seriously doubt that Verizon would be denied the ability to sell locked phones out of this. There's no way Verizon lawyers would sign that one.
