This is also true of GSM. It would be stupid to adopt ANY technology
that didn't give you the ability to reject who could use it. If the
carrier didn't have ultimate control then they'd not be able to boot
non-paying people from using their network. It is not the technology
but the policy of the carriers that allows this movement.

With CDMA it is (or at least was) common policy.
No so with GSM. Any provider which would do this would go out of business soon. It screws Roaming and it screws the open phone marked. (Open marked not open phone ;) )
