@TaxNerd How many "regular" folks (non-IT) do you know who do ANY research before choosing a phone? I know a very few who looked at Consumer Reports. Most others do nothing but look at the phones in the store and choose one.
So carriers seem to be risking very little in doing all they can to keep users under "control".
And in saying this, it seems I'm going against my earlier call for journalists to keep beating the drum. I guess I hope the "mainstream" (non-tech) journalists will finally pay attention and start reporting on these many drawbacks.
