Default Re: T-Mobile G1 jailbroken?

It's my opinion that they don't care. It's intended keep people from being stupid, not malicious. I think Google would have no problem with people rebuilding the entire platform from the source, and indeed, I see them moving that direction.

The security that is there is to keep you from shooting yourself in the foot, not to keep you from tearing it apart if you want. Now that's Google's standpoint, I'm not sure what HTC would think of it, let alone t-Mobile or $CARRIER.

I can easily see t-Mobile being scared that this paves the way to people abusing their networks for uses other than those intended. I hope the phone companies will eventually take the "dumb carrier" attitude, where they just pass the data and charge you for overages. Right now however they definitely have the attitude that there are specific things you should be using their network for, and anything outside that is cause for alarm.

I'm eager to see how it all plays out. To be quite honest, the telecom battle is a far more interesting to me than the recent USA election. Who won anyway, the fake or the fascist? Which is which? Exactly.
