MG Siegler (and many of us who travel) are well aware that in Europe, there is a lot more freedom regarding carriers and pay-as-you-go SIM cards. He explicitly added the "in the US" to make that clear.

I assure you that most of us realize that the $199 iPhone we are getting with a 2 Year $70/month contract locked to AT&T is really a $1879 contract value.

And yet.. He still hates "Android" instead of US carriers and non-existing regulation.

Perhaps "most of" the tech enthusiasts. The average person has no idea.
