re: Cellphone unlocking law expected to be signed

quote:

the majority of the cost of a phone is subsidized by the carrier in return for you entering into a binding contract with said carrier. So, I can see why the carriers are fighting this...

i thought that's what the ETF fees were designed to cover?

i still dont see the point of forcing carrier locked devices unless you have att or verizen or someone not protecting themselves with an ETF clause.

so i don't see a problem with unlocking other than carriers gonna carrier.
