It’ll be their own downfall. Telephony is handled perfectly fine through tcp/ip. So if carries don’t support it, we’ll start seeing components that turn the phone part of phones to Internet connectivity modules.
That will be harder than expected as the telco networks are an international standard with no way to verify anything about the local device except that it has the required cryptographic cert contained within the sim.
In the fascist US, yes. But the EU forced Apple to adopt Usb-C to protect consumer rights to not need to buy completely new cables when they switch to or from Apple so I expect the EU will force Google to let European consumers use their devices however they want to.
Maybe we’ll see more donations regarding Linux mobile? The development needs to be even faster now.
I’m afraid the carriers will just stop allowing devices on their networks unless they’re approved and locked down with a spy ROM.
Well then no compliance. I’ll take a dumb flip phone if it came to that. And with tethering I can use whatever I damn well please behind it.

Helium has the chance to do something really funny right now /s

Yeah, it seems that’s where we are going. Technology will either be state approved or you can’t use it legally.

You mean the EU currently arresting people for memes. Real fighters for justice over there, aren’t they.
The same EU trying to implement chat control and age verifications across various states?
🤡
Don’t forget locked down bootloader which is how the OP will be enforced.
This naive confidence is how they are able to do it.
Debatable with all the anti privacy movements going on there.
Sadly that’s a high possibility, though I hope it won’t come to that or at least there would be a network that allows this.
