iPhone in China: Ready, Set, Go... but Without Wi-Fi Function!

According to the last rumors, Apple finalized the official launch of the iPhone in China. However, he company will have to apply some restrictions to its popular handheld to follow local regulations. After Morocco requesting the GPS to be disabled, China wants its local iPhone to have Wi-Fi function disabled. According to some sources, it could be a way to better control information sent by iPhone owners in China (a lesson following the recent demonstrations in Iran?). Indeed, it is easier to control 3G network than internet, and Chinese authorities probably did not wish to get millions of mobile internet terminal (aka iPhone) to be controlled/filtered.
Millions of iPhone are already being used in China, without the appropriate plans, imported via the grey market, as it was the case in Europe 2 years ago, however, those iPhones will not be locked for Wi-Fi.
