Sawyer Merritt(@SawyerMerritt):SpaceX has joined three other industry groups in calling on the FCC to adopt a nationwide policy to automatically unlock phones tied to a carrier’s network 180 days after activation. “Automatic mobile device unlocking is essential to protecting consumer choice, promoting competition, and lowering costs in the mobile marketplace. We urge the FCC to prioritize the needs of consumers and their families over large corporations’ abilities to thwart competition,” SpaceX says.
