For IP if you wish.

I wrote few days ago about my proposal few years ago in Italy of a bill for
device neutrality that in the end was stopped at the final vote after
successful lobbying by some MNCs.

Identical principles became law in South Korea:

The amended Enforcement Decree prohibits the installation – and even the
recommendation – of software that is not critical to the primary functions
of telecom equipment, such as smartphones. It further prohibits any unfair
limitations on the ability to uninstall such software or to install other
software


I have been told that two other countries are working on similar provisions.

Best, s.
