Once the phone manufacturers have implemented the software feature, do you think it's likely they would maintain two separate code branches to accommodate California vs everywhere else, or would they just roll it out to all states?
I'm thinking the latter is more likely.
- byoung2 12y agoI also mentioned Canada (or any other country really) as a possibility. There is already precedent for a US version vs international versions of phones, with the US versions usually being customized by the carrier, and the international version being unlocked and more vanilla. My wife's Samsung Note is a good example, rather than getting the T-Mobile one, we got an unlocked one from Amazon without all of the carrier bloat.
- famousactress 12y agoThere should be an "Occam's Razor"-like principal for this that argues that whatever the laziest possible fucking implementation is the one most likely to be implemented. (I'd clearly guess the latter also.)
