On Friday the United States House of Representatives passed legislation legalizing cell phone unlocking. They voted unanimously in favor of the Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act. This act was approved by the Senate last week, so the only step left is presidential approval. Obama supports making cell phone unlocking legal, and has pledged to sign this bill into law.
