But I wasn't saying HTC was Verizon. I just simply asked if HTC had to go through the same process as the one you said Motorola went through. And I stated that this whole thing was my opinion and simply used HTC as my "somewhat" source

You said "So ur saying that someone also gave aproval for htc to announce that they won't be locking bootloaders...I don't think so..."...and no one is saying that. No one ever said that. HTC doesn't need to consult Verizon when they make business decisions, and no one said they do or implied they do.
This started with you stating that it's not the carriers who decide if bootloaders are locked, and then taking one twitter post out of context and assumed that to mean that we will get unlocked bootloaders.
What I'm saying that yes it is carriers who decide to allow unlocked bootloader phones on their network. they have the final say as to what devices are on their network. if an HTC phone comes unlocked on Verizon, it's cause Verizon approved it. So while HTC doesn't have to get verizon's permission to unlock their phones or make announcements about unlocked phones, they sure as hell need Verizon's permission to keep it unlocked or not if they want to sell to Verizon customers.
