Excellent find! This makes it the first time I've seen anything truly official on this update. Since this update is going to come through Zune, can the carrier even block it if they wanted to?
Nope, straight to the phone, no way a carrier to block it, and thats Microsofts goal from the get go, its why they didn't give carriers too much freedom with what they can change/add
well, supposedly the updates still have to be presented to the carriers when they're finished with it and if they don't approve of it whether its an OTA or OTW, if they don't approve it, it doesn't fly.
