I too agree but the question then becomes, do you petition against technical exclusivity as well (CDMA phones never coming to GSM and vice versa)? I think (please don't quote me) alot of rural carriers are CDMA because they want to control their airwaves, so I'm guessing they want GSM phones to migrate over as well as VZ, Sprint & Alltel exclusive phones.
Also, I wonder if this all phones on all carriers thing would make carriers more competitive in terms of prices. Wouldn't AT&T, VZ and all of them be fighting it out to the death to give the customer more minutes, more txt, and more data for their dollar if they ALL had the BB Bold in their lineup? Sounds like all of this is a win-win if the RWCs have their way.
