Verizon and Free Speech

From today's NY Times...

Saying it had the right to block “controversial or unsavory” text messages, Verizon Wireless last week rejected a request from Naral Pro-Choice America, the abortion rights group, to make Verizon’s mobile network available for a text-message program. But the company reversed course this morning, saying it had made a mistake.
Darn right, it was a mistake. And the reversal came just in time. I was about to cancel my phone service...

So who at Verizon had appointed him/herself the arbitor of appropriate? How scary! Glad they realized it and reversed!
