I'm sure you are correct. The basic firmware is the same, but they come pre-loaded with configuration that automatically goes to the provider's web site. Again, that's not bad as long as there is a "factory reset" that can restore it, which there is, but it is password protected and the provider won't give out the password. If the device were owned by the provider, that would be acceptable, but the provider sells them to the customer so the customer deserves to be able to use them for other purposes if they need to.
