Maybe it will be less likely that our androids, iPhones, blackberries get jacked by muggers in the near future

RE: Soon it may be harder to sell stolen cellphones
What that will do is keep you from placing phone calls and texts through a service provider.

There are apps that let you do the same thing though free wireless hotspots, avoiding having a service provider at all. You'll still be able to watch videos, read email, and do anything else that a laptop does. Not that big of a barrier, really.

And then we are much better than the Gammas and Deltas. Gammas are stupid. They all wear green, and Delta children wear khaki. Oh no, I don't want to play with Delta children. And Epsilons are still worse. They're too stupid to be able to read or write. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color. I'm so glad I'm a Beta."

Is this block in effect internationally? I could see phones just being shipped overseas for resale.

Also at least for some phones their IMEI could be changed (through hacking).
