I'm gobsmacked by that - is there any precedent for it? Anywhere? I've literally never heard of any manufacturer locking Wifi support. I'm almost not believing it yet until I see some kind of other confirmation - I can only think that it was meant to say "Wireless" or "3G" or something else, because locking Wifi is just ridiculous.
