The Federal Communications Commission is letting Verizon lock phones to its network for longer periods, eliminating a requirement to unlock handsets 60 days after they are activated on its network.
The change will make it harder for people to switch from Verizon to other carriers.
People in EU: WTF is phone locking?
It was all fun and banter but I’m starting to get a little bit sad for our American friends, looking at my 8.99€ monthly 186GB 5G (4G after that) phone bill, and my 29.99€ monthly 2.5Gb home connection (10Gb is +10€ but do I really need that? I’ll get it if my sharing network starts to get popular :-).
