Had a little time to dig around and found Sim Lock is different from s-off/on

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIM_lock

It appears S-OFF/ON is also set by the operator/carrier and not the manufacturer.

I'd love to see a definitive source about S-OFF/ON and how it is implemented. Especially, for the Sprint/HTC combination.
