It's not only french companies producing them and the entities who are involved in pushing SIM replacements aren't as interested in mundane things such as marketshare, money etc. as you might think.
Don't forget this one for example: https://theintercept.com/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist/ https://theintercept.com/2015/02/19/great-sim-heist/
I don't think the french abuse their SIM-powerposition, otherwise they would not force states like Palestine into using weaker encryption and such.
- kramerger 4y agoWe are discussing two completely different issues :) If you ever worked in telecom, you know for the fact that the SIM companies have sabotaged and vetoed every attempt to get a sane eSIM or SIM-free standard. And nothing against the French :) , it just happens that the two largest and most agreesive companies in this area have French connections (Thales and Gemalto)
- coretx 4y agoNo denial from my side there, but regarding the other point: what else do those two have in common with each other ? Sometimes things really are what they look like.
