I think the point about this statistic, if true, is that it shows that people do not like to have things dictated to them, especially when it comes to what phone carrier they must use. It is a cheap trick to tie consumers into an unattractive carrier package using a superior mobile phone product and people have obviously indicated that they are not happy with this.
Generally it is something that frustrates me about the mobile phone industry - they use the phone products to entice users into opting for an often insignificant carrier package (either through number of minutes/texts included or geographical coverage) instead of concentrating on making their service better.
