Does this mean they can push out 10.2.1 without the help from carriers? Or will the functionality be there once 10.1.2 is installed, for future updates?

Looks like carriers still need to approve. Sheese.
totally pointless, especially in the U.S. not enough subscribers for U.S. carriers to keep "testing" or whatever else they're doing. probably sitting on their arses trying to sell the new samsung.
It's all BS! BlackBerry releases an OS of over 100+ improvements to a carrier for testing.
And the carrier takes forever to release it because they want to add "Wifi calling"? They should release the updates as it is. Give a warning that they have not tested it and loading it is at owners risk.
Then whenever they have added their "Wifi calling" (cause I really don't know what else they are doing) they can push out another update and say "Yay! Wifi calling is here".
I don't even live in the US. But it's all very annoying.

Just guessing here, but I doubt the carriers really care if owners are prepared to take a risk. I suspect carriers are more concerned at their risk and the problems that might come when these phones are connected to their network.
When I was a kid growing up in Canada, I always hated the fact that the States got everything first. Of course that's not the case now, but I can feel the frustration of many down there.
If true, this news is a great step in the right direction. If anything, the States should have had the Royal treatment right from BB10's launch. Not that it would of changed things, but it would have omitted some of the bad press and avoided what I imagine extreme negative word of mouth. It's all behind is now, but the mistakes the old management team made may be the reason Mr. Chen will never get Americans on board. Myself, when I get beyond pissed at a product or company, it's almost impossible to look at them seriously again. I hope I'm wrong in this case. My view is that no matter what anyone says, BlackBerry NEEDS THE USA behind them to have any chance of a come back.
