They've latched onto a throw-away issue for some cheap goodwill. They are proposing to permit unlocking outside of service contract terms and limits. This causes some discomfort for their telco buddies, but it is relatively minor, and the telcos continue to receive other goodwill from the Administration and Congress that far outweighs this. And, this comes at a time when Congress et al. are effectively doing squat about the sequester and many other more significant, and/or time critical, issues. I have a completely cynical opinion of this latest "action" by the Administration and Congress. It is entirely self-serving. They are doing you no favors; rather, they are simply attempting to buy some cheap goodwill.
