> your argument is "Apple should allow other businesses to use their infrastructure, which they have spent many years and many billions of dollars building, however those other businesses want" No. My argument is that companies which choose to place themselves as sole gatekeepers of their devices, and which also have such significant market share, should be subject to some minimal regulation that includes neutrality, oversight, and transparency requirements (at minimum). > no business in the history of the world has done that with something they own This claim is factually incorrect. Rail companies (in the US and Europe), telecoms, electric, gas, and other utilities all immediately come to mind. In most of the western world (but notably not the US), ISPs are subject to open access laws; these have been very successful. > that's because the banks are also large businesses and Apple can't just ignore them. It's not because Apple is under any requirement to be nice. I understand there is not currently any legal requirement; I'm arguing that we need one.
