T-Mobile Phone Unlocking Lawsuit May Proceed

Posted by Zonk on Friday October 12, 2007 @06:02AM from the fight-for-your-right-to-unlock dept.

Billosaur writes "Wired is reporting that the California Supreme Court has refused to review two lower court decisions involving a class-action lawsuit against T-Mobile over their policies regarding early termination and phone unlocking. The Court rejected the reviews without comment, opening the door to the lawsuit, which aims to block T-Mobile from collecting a $200 early termination fee from users. Also on the table: an order for T-Mobile to disclose the types of phone-locking technology that may be in use on customer's phones. The ramifications if the lawsuit is successful would be to allow phone users in California to unlock their phones, and might lead to further lawsuits nationwide."

Start with Phone unlocking, then maybe abolish software patents, then you could even think about giving healthcare to every American...

  What makes you think every American deserves such things, especially healthcare?
  
  As an American, and having many ties within DCS and other public services, I'm not convinced everyone deserves free healthcare.
