Yet they forget their reason for existing is the BROWSER without which they would not be on Google welfare.

If you are doing a payment plan for phone yea keeping it locked is understandable. If you pay for the phone's price upfront so you don't have to pay per month for it then it should be unlocked from the start. If you go with pay xx per month til its paid off, once you get it paid off you should be able to go in to any their retail stores and they should be by law required unlock it that day 0 question if/when asked.
Well, if the consumer defaults on the contract, the provider simply blacklists the IMEI. At least that is how it is done in the US.

Systems and networks handling classified or sensitive material should not be outsourced. They should be built using open source software and run in-house.
