The bill proposes three rules: cellphone carriers would be required to notify customers at the point of purchase whether a phone is locked to work only on their network; they would have to remove such a lock free of charge at any point after the conclusion of the customer's service contract; and they would have to remove it if the customer does not enter into a contract within six months of buying the device up front.

Nice to see some proposed legislation that helps consumers for once, rather than industry. Of course, I can't really see the Cons/Libs getting behind this one.
