IMO the fact that the device subsidy is so popular with both consumers and network operators in the US means that all of this ostensibly anti-consumer stuff will be with us for a while. The (hard) SIM cards don't even offer the desired portability if you have to go beg for the device to be unlocked.

It's not the SIM card that is not portable, but the phone that you bought.
