Re: My Prediction said by AVonGauss:That's not an entirely accurate statement, the majority of markets still have locked cell phones due to subsidizing, although there are a few notable countries which outright ban the practice. I think the point is that in those countries they give you the option of bringing your own phone (by buying a phone outright) and paying *much* smaller monthly fees, or receiving a "subsidized" phone in which you pay much higher monthly fees, in the end causing you to pay twice as much as you would have for the phone if you had just bought it outright.
It's kind of like leasing a car. |
