Unlocking Cell Phones Is Now Illegal

Hmm, I wonder which company/ies were behind this legislation?
Could service providers be trying to chain people to their service by making switching services (necessitating buying a new phone) too costy?

Might cell phone manufacturers be trying to minimize the reselling of used phones so more people have to buy new?

Could a manufacturer who sells unlocked phones be trying to make their product even more attractive?

Gotta love crony capitalism....

I'll ask him what he thinks of this but I think I know what he's going to say:

'Who cares! Let them shut me down! I've got 20 friends who know how to do what I do!'

This is like trying to keep kids from making copies of music.

It is unenforceable.

Stop using them..

Maybe the companies will lobby to get rid of that "law".
