They have lots of qualifiers around access and service standards. It's 230 pages and quite comprehensive. I'm sure Apple and Google will try to get creative, but these simple examples of potential malicious compliance are already covered.

I am not speaking with regards to malicious intent. I actually mean the scenario where providing a certain level of access does in fact degrade the user experience. Take for instance if US carriers were required to give all MNVO full 5G access with unlimited data simply because the carriers themselves sell this kind of capability directly to customers. This might put burden onto the network that just makes it terrible for everyone. We wouldn’t want that kind of regulation. I am just wondering if this will degrade the phone experience in a material way and the only recourse will be to uninstall apps.

> The simple work around is to (lie)

That seems like dubious advice.

Nobody said lie

Intentionally claim untruth (for personal benefit) == lie

So, yes they very much did.
