I love the regulation in France. The law there states that if you sell a locked phone you must give your customers the ability to unlock the phone. I understand this that Apple will have to release updates for the phone for users that want to use the phone with another carrier in France. I can only wonder how Apple will limit the phone to be used only in France so that people can not simply buy it there and use it else where. I hope this opens up a new world for users around the world so that they will be able to use it with any carrier around the world and get all the updates for it. FYI the carrier selected to be the exclusive provider of the iPhone in France is Orange.
