Actually in the car analogy, you can't just mod it at will, the car still has to be street legal. But my issue here is, can't you essentially write an app that would overload the network? There certainly may be legal issues with that (plus Apple would sue you for violating their patents), but I'd thinking the networks would need a defense for it regardless of phone mods.
