This is the same guy who was whining about the iPhone not working with carriers other than AT&T even though it is technologically impossible for the phone in its current form to work with Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Alltel, or any other non-GSM carrier.
Perhaps he needs to gain a better understanding of technology before he spearheads ill-informed "reform" down our throats.

Hint: you can only go to another GSM carrier, which excludes Sprint, Nextel, Verizon, etc. |

@verizon.net | Indeed... though, one wonders if one could hack in a CDMA radio into an iPhone, and then get the iPhone to operate with the CDMA radio... probably not worth it for any consumer use, but it would be neat to see some crazy tech expert could do it... |

The phone carrier is the issue, not the data. But even beyond that they just simply willingly locked the phone to the carrier that agreed to their terms. If sprint would of agreed, it would be locked to them, if alltel did it would be locked to them.
Bottom line is they locked it to control it not because it is not possible. |
