Governments' and companies incentives are highly different. I live in Turkey where not every service is corporate like it is in the US. I can see in practice that a competitor service offered by government happens to be that real competition which drags the prices down.

So has the Turkish government created a cell phone? A search engine? A popular e-commerce store?

Only an ecommerce store of that list, but many other things. Though the store doesn't really matter because competition is already rampant in the ecommerce space.

I wrote a letter to our Presidency asking about these other things you mentioned last week.

So would the Turkish government be happy to let you sell something that was pro Kurd?
