I think I see a pattern... :twisted:
First your number was locked for a given carrier. They lost that one.
Your phone is locked for a given carrier. Can't leave us without giving up your device.
Your operating system is locked. But don't worry, we've got plenty of value added services to sell you. At a price.
If this feature is truely for the consumers benefit, then give them control over it. Or is this justified as protecting consumers from themselves.
Competition is a double edged sword for a consumer. Sometimes it means choices and innovation, other times it means oppression. :roll:
My take is this. Leave the feature there for security and protection. But allow me to deactivate or override it. I should be able to install what I want on my device.
