AT&T Will Lock In iOS 4 Phones With OTA Updates

A rumor, not confirmed yet, talk of a new system developed by AT&T to lock the phone part of iPhones sold four sim-locked, to prevent blocked devices are used with other operators.

The system provides, say, a system that updates every 7-14 days AT&T iPhone users send 4. If you do not update that the iPhone is unusable.

The first reactions of skepticism, it seems very strange that Apple allow something like that. We'll keep you notified of new features.
