One of the most frustrating aspects of smartphone ownership could be coming to an end or at least curtailed in the U.S.: phone locking.
The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has proposed a new rule that could eliminate one of the most frustrating aspects of smartphone ownership: carrier locking. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel wants to require mobile providers to unlock customers’ mobile phones within 60 days of activation, making it easier for consumers to switch providers.

In announcing her proposal, Rosenworcel explains: “When you buy a phone, you should have the freedom to decide when to change service to the carrier you want and not have the device you own stuck by practices that prevent you from making that choice.”
