with Medtronic, I am always concerned about the tube as you've to carry it around and with kids, it becomes difficult, so we're opting for Omni Pod. I hope they make it tubeless some how and CGM + Pump in 1 system . With Med, you still have to manage the dose prior - no ?

some of it has to be with regulations where data retention is required by the law ( Fintech/Telco). Other than that it's to learn more about client and use the data to reach more clients.

In a perfect world, we should have the right to revoke our data access anytime we want, specially when there is a material change in management ( Exit/Acquired/CoFounder left) etc.

I am not sure what can be classified as monopoly as it's pretty subjective. Is Tesla a monopoly in EV Cars ( or cars in general). I used to kinda anti apple but realized that post switching to iPhone 5, never went back tbh. Same with Mac and iPAD. It's certainly a better ecosystem but that's what MOAT is. Companies spend $$$ to build the MOAT. If a company can build a better product, they deserve to be on top.

I however have another issue with Apple with Apple Package. They discourage smaller carriers to work with them. To explain further - Apple don't allow iMessage, FaceTime, Visual Voice mail if you don't commit to buying a specific amount of devices. This kills smaller businesses. It's like Coca Cola not selling you their product if you're not walmart. You'll not become Walmart till you sell products but you're not allowed to get access to products that big retailers have. I think the case is positioned in a way that Apple should win

Avoid 3rd parties site like anything. If ever you get in trouble or need any assistance, you'ree not going to get any help from airline and/or have to pay crazy fees. Recently my sister had to change the flight and were charged $750 for 3 people to change the ticket on top of airline difference. Airline was willing to do it complimentary but due to them they had to pay $600 on top

For booking, matrix ita is great too. It's owned by google and then kayak/skyscanner etc to check out route ideas

Frankly even 10MB is much more than an average person need.5G on phone is almost unnoticeable . Best strategy would've been to provide more coverage than faster coverage.

Verizon certainly have but have an excellent network and brand name. At the moment, T Mobile have the most amount of spectrum bandwidth available

It depends. Every carrier has multiple QCI or service standards in laymans' terms. Think of it as boarding priority via zone on the plane. You pay less, you get less. Same goes for coverage wise, where carriers do offer MVNO a choice to have less coverage at significant discount. So ultimately, it depends on the person use
