I’m just pointing out that “fault” is not really germane. It simply is what it is. Apple is responsible for where their hardware products fit into the mix, and where they fit going forward.

I don’t “blame” anyone for the incompatibility issue. It’s just a fact to be dealt with, and reviewed to see if anything could have been done to prevent it, to better plan for future product releases.

will only take a few tens of minutes to exhaust the entire monthly allotment of bits for most folks.

As my brother observed when Comcast rolled out 35-40Mbit service in his area, with a 250G/month cap..."So they give you a 600hp engine and one tank of gas per month."

Building one device which works worldwide is far from a sure thing.

Understatment of the year.

Norway was taken by the Germans in April of 1940, and Finland was invaded by the Soviets in 1939. Sweden (caught between the two nations) was able to prevent itself from being attacked by either side due to it’s well handled diplomacy.

Plenty of Scandanavians died at the hands of the Nazis and Soviets.

This news has ruined my day. Tragic!

Need more details to know if it’s a screw up or business decision to ignore that market.

The Scandinavian countries have always been a real PITA when it comes to networking.

X.21 anyone?

Okay, this time they might be on the cutting edge, rather than the trailing...
