| Network SIM lock is anti-GSM Network SIM lock was a late addition to the GSM specification. The main benefit of the SIM card is to smooth interoperability and interchangeability between subscription and handset. SIM locking obliterates the whole point of having a SIM card. Whereas Euro markets saw the SIM-based model as great for competitiveness and consumer choice, the business-tilted American market sees it as damaging to corporate bottom line.
Am I alone in thinking that a carrier should be measured by its QoS and not by what handset and content partnerships it can wrangle? |
