    It's about intent. If they can prove you manufactured data you fed to the dongle, then you're probably in for some trouble. However, you can have a similar scenario where maybe I w…

    Think about the user experience. If switching, a user no longer has to wait on delivery of a small physical item from the new carrier. The user doesn't have to fiddle with a paperc…
