Which is not very open, it just means it's open to other companies. If I want my own data there is no api for me.

Hey, do you have any suggestions for resources to learn more about this kind of custom optimisation? Sounds interesting, but not sure where to start?

Source or it did not happen. That sounds extremely illegal, no one can be forced to sign a contract. Not to mention it would violate GDPR and several other laws. This sounds like myth that gets passed around or something you misunderstood.

It does not, totally irrelevant product for most people, especially since it is way more expensive than uncaped 4G/5G and most people have a cheap and fast physical unlink at home.

Starlink is such a niche product in Sweden, it would be such a pointless move that would go by totally without notice. The vast majority of Sweden is covered by 4G and 90% 5G coverage is excpeted within a year. Broadband via fiber is ubiquitous and a lot cheaper than the USA (at least in the comparisons I've seen).

Can't speak about spacex not sure if any Swedish companies do business with them.

The unions don't own the goverment. Or do you also belive that the nordics is full of socialists? And I'd much rather be a modern nordic country as compared to the USA where democracy is constantly threatened and bribing politicians is perfectly legal as long as you call it lobbying, the name a few modern examples
