New rules could rock wireless world - Yahoo! News

New rules could rock wireless world - Yahoo! News

The FCC head wants new wireless devices unlocked. This could have dramatic changes in cellphone provider costs for digital traffic. Could this be the final end in having to buy a new phone when we switch our service to a new provider?

In some cases, this is already here when you go out on your own and buy an unlocked device. However, this puts the burden on the consumer to ensure the phone is compatible with the provider. Perhaps this is the beginning of pushing that responsibility back onto the provider?
