That’s true. With any luck this’ll force carriers to move to esim.

It’s kinda against their interests because it’s easier and cheaper for the user to switch providers. Not a big deal in the us where there’s three or four big ones with less gsm/cdma overlap but in Europe where there’s a thousand and lots of overlap making it easier for a customer to switch providers is big.
