Yes, time for a reset. A reset of all the influence foreign companies have on my country! It is many the times I have daydreamed of seizing their assets and pushing them out... Goodbye Apple, goodbye Google!

So, what, every country is going to have its own cell phone operating systems? Instead of two mobile OS's we'll have hundreds?

There are more than two mobile OS's, we just have to be allowed to run our choice of them on our choice of device, and the hardware vendors should be forced to not ship with a default OS.

If the alternative is Google and Apple deciding which rules apply to them, yes?

Not hundreds, but a couple more options would be really nice.

Hundreds of forks of Android, all having slightly different extensions but a common API, would be ideal.

It's crazy talk. Who's got the time to standardize messaging and data for WWAN modems on mobile devices? It's not like any operating systems ever implemented userland emulation of Android or iOS APIs and delivered a roughly identical experience to customers. Way too unrealistic, we're talking about space age technology here.

We should be happy that Google and Apple don't charge us more for all their hard work. If they leave there are no other phone manufacturers in the world, Europe would simply return to the dark ages.

This is what open source is for.

I just can't see it being allowed by Washington.

Yeah, the US might do something crazy in response like put up tariffs on allied democracies

I wasn’t aware they had veto power.

I get they THINK they do.

But I don’t think they do.
