| Locked Phones help manufacturers an the carriers
The phone manufacturers are in the same boat as Verizon, or atleast they'll be throwing their money at them to combat the unlocking of cell phones. For instance, one model type becomes essentially 4 or 5 when locked. Instant cash-flow off the break, plus the carriers can charge up the ass when it comes to getting a new phone for on a new carrier.
But God forbid you actually purchasing your phone 100% and having the choice of which carrier you want.
Beta-max, anyone? |
