- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's only a matter of time, though, unless regulators step in.
- martey 14y agoI am confused about why regulators should be involved. The purpose of the ETSI is to create mobile industry standards. I think the author would argue that these benefit the consumer. The main issue with the article isn't its hyperbolic headline, but the fact that the author implies that Apple is introducting their nano-SIM design in order to further lock down devices, when their design is actually more backwards compatible than the ones submitted by Nokia and RIM: http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/26/2904153/apple-vs-nokia-4ff-nano-sim/in/2666951 http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/26/2904153/apple-vs-nokia-4ff...
- edent 14y ago(I'm the author) I don't think that the nano-SIM is going to lock down devices any more than the micro-SIM. I'm saying that while everyone is battling it out over that standard, Apple will introduce their "Virtual SIM". Possibly as a last resort if their standard doesn't make it.
