Surely this is some kind of monopolistic position to ensure one carrier can overcharge for the phone and then control and restrict the usage of said hand set??
The Palm Pre looked a nice alternative to the iPhone too, but with O2 pricing that out of the market for all but the hardiest of enthusiasts, I'm guessing they're planning on doing the same with the Pre too. :(
Seriously, what a ridiculous thing to suggest that because something that is currently illegal to sell to minors can be bought over the internet without validation it should be banned from sale online completely. Are these morons for real?!
A more logical response, one government funded bodies seem pretty unable to manage these days, would be ensure any product intended by over 18s has to be purchased on a funding mechanism available to only said age group. How about we ban the use of cards available to under 18s from use on UK based web sites that sell adult products, rather than the idiotic response of banning the items for sale themselves.
I wish the state would stop interfering and greying the areas of parental responsibility with scaremongering and shock tactics. It's getting old...
