Why? If I want to make a terminal, why should that be illegal.
What regulators should really focus on in my opinion is any uncompetitive contractual obligations visa is imposing on vendors.

Imagine a universe where different hardware doesn't interoperate (e.g. androids can't call iphones, Macs can't use google.com, ChatGPT is only accessible to Comcast subscribers) I hope we can all agree it's a nightmare scenario. Sometimes the free market gets it right without intervention, sadly sometimes it does not.
Oh, you mean like how iOS has a private text chat system Androids can't access, and they're only kinda partially giving access to some of the features a decade later? Wouldn't that be crazy.
Nextel had exactly this with the walkie talkie feature and the market sorted it out.
