Well put! You've identified the next major battle to take place here in the states. Big Business vs. the people via control of hardware. And the funny thing is we're going to see most Americans running into the open arms of Big Business under the guise of "Security and safety", "Business has the right to lock down their hardware ... don't limit business", and, of course, "open systems open the door to terrorists."
You've perfectly identified the battle, but, sadly, I suspect the war has already been lost.
