So many questions... - Are "carrier-free" SIMs really illegal? As in, outlawed? - How do you then choose the operator? Do phones even support such a "selection/login" interface? Or is it a bureaucratic process? - If the latter, how do you easily switch carriers when traveling between Europe and US?

The article is flawed. In Europe we could always buy mix and match SIM cards with mobiles since the early days. Just how you get the mobiles is different. In some countries you can choose between paying the full price or having a kind of virtual contract, which means you get it cheaper but it is locked to the operator for two years. After which you get the code to unlock the mobile.
