Obama Asks FCC To Make Carriers Unlock All Mobile Devices

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday September 18, 2013 @12:12AM from the time-to-regulate dept.

New submitter globaljustin writes "According to a Washington Post report: 'Several months after calling for legislation to unlock cellphones, the White House filed a petition (PDF) with the Federal Communications Commission on Tuesday asking that all wireless carriers be required to unlock all mobile devices so that users can easily switch between carriers. ... the National Telecommunications and Information Administration said that allowing unlocked devices would increase competition and consumer choice, while also putting the burden of changing networks on companies rather than consumers.' This move should be met with universal acclaim from cell phone users, right?"

FauxNews, ha ha you libs are so smart, its getting old, stupid. Next you will talk about how cynical you are , Occam s razor, sighing, shrugging and the like. CNN talks about an AR15 rifle, but you bigots pick on Fox news. All news lies right? I guess the one news a-hole that joined BO's administration wasn't biased? Liberals are the biggest sheep to walk the planet.
Did your 1st grade teacher tell you say faux news or are you posting from Democrat head quarters, stupid? SD is a liberal haven of stupid.
