I see your points, I guess you gotta start somewhere right?

Don't get me wrong I hate the current US system as much as all of you, I guess I just don't have enough faith in the American Sheeple to actually understand the underlying truth.

Most people just think that the way it currently works here is the way it just is, they have no clue that there could be 'another' way.

I was just suggesting in my utopian example that it might be a way to introduce the masses to the concept of open source.

Without the actual support of at least one carrier pushing along side for a 'new' model of open source here in the US, it will be very difficult! I hope it happens! I really really do.

The only other way Nokia could do it in my mind is with an incredible and expensive marketing campaign.
Otherwise at it might take a long long time.
