Stop Android from being a monopoly.
This solution has the same problem as the Windows browser ballot — it starts from the assumption that the OS must continue being a monopoly.

How?
Apple doesn't care to compete, they've taken the profitable users and sell them higher and higher margin devices.
Microsoft doesn't care to compete, they killed the windows phone team and then killed the goodwill they had developed by releasing windows mobile 10.
KaiOS doesn't really compete.
Blackberry 10 didn't really sell.
How do we usually stop companies from being monopolies? Do that.
I don't accept that phone operating systems are a natural monopoly and that it's OK to have only 2 companies in a position to control them.
