So I'm assuming the Telus one didn't have to get this same FCC approval, so the option was left enabled.
Here we go, I thought I'd give some back up information.

Yeah makes sense, FCC has that type of power to limit it. However I believe there is a way to unblock that, i.e. it's a hidden subsidy lock, or software-based limit. Down the road someone will figure it out.
