My column on fixing cellphones by killing the carriers

I thought the iPhone was NOT sponsored by AT&T and that you pay full price to Apple?

I understand that AT&T doesn't want the iPhone to work on the competitors networks, because that would break their exclusive deal with Apple. I'm curious what will happen on the European market where there are many more competitors (using the same GSM technology) and competition is fiercer. I suspect the incentive to unlock the iPhone (or keeping it unlocked as I'm sure Apple will break the current unlocking with a firmware update) in Europe will be greater. We'll see.

BTW Safari user and I don't see any ads, just the content. Just use the right plug-ins...
