sim cards are as capable as 80s computers and run the JVM.

If so, could obsolete SIM cards not be reused as embedded systems for free?

see defcon talk about them. it was hell to buy sim cards to do the shaddytel for torcamp.

basically, telcos make sure only them can update the code there. it's a computer running 24h, with full network and sensor access, that you carry everywhere, and you have zero control or visibility
