You are clearly convinced that this was a decision made based on the market. I don’t believe that. I believe that as soon as they are not paying a percentage of every device to Qualcomm, Apple will ship this obvious feature.

As for the fear over regulation, why do Dell laptops and Apple iPads have modems?

Maybe, but there's only one way to find out. We will just have to wait and see.

Despite whatever you may think of me, I do hope you're right.

I don’t think poorly of you at all. I think many assume that free market forces prevail.

It seems to me that the current monopolies are the reason we don’t have an obvious feature.
