This is exactly right; it is a partial win for consumers. Everyone wants customization, and if the owner of a phone, just as the owner of a PC would, prefers a different OS than factory, customized OS, etc., they should be able to work on that OS. Obviously, computer abuse is computer abuse--and, illegal--but customization is key in a market wherein the customer is king. #unlock #iplaw #ip
