Attached to: Verizon Wastes No Time Switching Device Unlock Policy To 365 Days
The FCC mentioned in their waiver that by allowing Verizon to create whatever unlock policy they wanted that this would "benefit consumers." How does any of this benefit consumers?

Carriers can offer subsidised hardware without customers abusing it to get a cheap phone and use elsewhere. Those deals will get more expensive if you ban SIM locking.

Nearly all of Microsoft's Windows revenue
Um did you forget Microsoft Office exists? Offices a little more than twice as profitable as Windows...

Or it could just mean that people who had multiple computers have ditched their older ones as they're unsupported, instead of replacing them. I've got several, and only one (two if you count the work laptop) has been powered on at all this year.
