yea, it make sense, it's anti-competitive, probably not a good idea, not something I support, but if the phone is subsidized by the wireless company it becomes a bit of a gray area...
imagine you signup for a phone service, you get the phone for free and you are supposed to stay with the company for 2 years... you are assuming that you own the phone after 2 years, but do you really? it's in your possession, but you didn't pay for it, so how can you own it? perhaps it was just leased to you for 2 years?
