Why wouldn't Apple provide the tool? Good question about preventing carriers from selling products, I'm not sure what would happen. I imagine all the big phone manufacturers could provide unlocked phones though. Most of the rest of the world outside North America (Europe in particular) has much more restrictive laws already regarding locking of phones than what this legislation is proposing.
