No one knows what Apple's plans are, but I really doubt it. This is a key theft prevention feature that was added with iOS 7. It prevens a stolen device from being reactivated and used, thereby reducing the likelihood that anyone would want to steal it in the first place.
If you purchased this from a store, take it back and get your money back as it is of no use to you. If you purchased it from someone else, your only hope is to locate them and get them to remove it from their account so you can activate it.
