If this covers locking features of a cellular device, then I'm for it. I'm sick of carriers locking out features because they don't want to support it.
(cough)Verizon Wireless(cough)
About paying full price for the phone... it may not be as bad as some thinks. Manufacturers could sell through other channels without carrier approval. Instead of buying a "crippled" phone through a carrier, you can buy a "healthy" phone off a BestBuy (not the VW BestBuy kiosk) shelf and you won't have to be "under-contract".
I'm just saying there is more positives then negatives. More channels for selling means deals.
