alt Hacker NewsI just want a virtual phone on my Android device. Why is this so hard?
So a new phone means just moving the VM. The only unique thing my Android layer has to do is route the internet..

That's a very simplistic idea of what it would entail.
the manufacturer of the gsm and cellular hardware do not what their products to be commodities that users can interchange easily. They want their commercial supplier contracts to be between negotiated cartels, which allows each producer to eat a certain horizontal slice of the pie.
Every player in this space currently has this incentive imho.
