I prefer cell phones to have replaceable batteries. But, the notion that it's appropriate for government to tell businesses how parts can be installed in the products they make is absolutely ridiculous. This kind of ruling raises prices to consumers, reduces choice, and is just antithetical to modern ideals of free markets.

Choice for businesses is not the same as choice for consumers. Game theory makes it so that many free market situations actually lead to less choice and less freedom for individual people.
What choice did people have if all the companies switched to non-replaceable batteries anyway?

After this there will be more choices for more people.



I LOVE ICELAND!
