I still strongly doubt this model, despite hoping for it. It would be nice and could change how mobile devices are bough sold and attached to plans in the US. Additionally it would finally make economic sense to buy an unlocked phone.

The problem is that it would be introducing a new model to the USA and shaking up the status quo. This would introduce a lot of new risk to the market. This would be great for us, but not for the telcos
