Re: What's He Talking About?

Actually, if the providers didn't close their networks and limit and control handsets, phones would be dirt cheap.

Much like buying a wristwatch, for example. The market would be flooded with all kinds of handsets and you'd just pick one. This competition would make them cheap, too. However, the locked down, controlled market keeps them high.
