What would this do to the iPhone/AT&T scenario then? I mean, AT&T is charging full price for that phone yet it's locking it to it's network only and will also charge you an early termination fee if you walk out before the 2 year contract. I think that may be one of the many reasons why we need a bill like this. It doesn't sound like good ethics for AT&T to do such things.

Also, isn't there a law already that was passed earlier this year which empowers the consumer to have their carrier locked phone be unlocked upon request? No special reason needed but just to simply and politely ask the carrier to unlock their phone? If so, would this law also apply to the iPhone and AT&T? Talk back please. I'd like your opinion.
