I dont think its a black and white as that, but in my case I'm looking to use the $500 phone I bought overseas. AT&T and Apple "locking" phones to a certain network starts to fall into monopolization IMO.

Years ago, prior to the iPhone coming out, both AT&T (cingular) and Tmobile had a policy in place that if you fulfilled the 1 year contract with them when you bought your phone, they would send you the unlock codes for your phone. Shortly before the iPhone came out, that quickly stopped.

I see it as your telling me the TV I bought from Best Buy can only be used in my living room. If I want to plug it in in my bedroom, I have to pay 5x as much just because its in a different location.
