Canada rules that all new cellphones must be unlocked

in #technology7 years ago

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) today announced that as of December 1, 2017, all individual and small business wireless service customers will have the right to have their cellphones and other mobile devices unlocked free of charge upon request. In addition, all newly purchased devices must be provided unlocked from that day forward.

I think it's great step for Canadian people. Of course carriers disagreed with the CRTC, but somebody should stop their monopoly.
