White House Response to “Make Unlocking Cell Phones Legal”

I spent about 15 seconds clicking on a petition, and the guy who started the petition was able to use that to start a dialogue?

If anything, it's remarkable how effective that was. What sort of change did you expect with so little effort?

If you've ever done business development, you'd know that opening that dialog is frequently the hardest step. Meaningful changes are carefully considered, and they don't happen overnight. This is a good first step.

"you'd know that opening that dialog is frequently the hardest step."

How true and essentially the value of "connections" I would add. They get the person (you are "selling" to) to at least listen to what you have to say and consider it and to typically be taken more seriously.
