hat sounds very similar to the arguments that AT&T made about their monopoly on phones for landlines years ago.
that was eventually dealt with and the fix was to require a very small portion of the phone to be certified. I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar result eventually for this.
the question is how small the certified piece can be.

Agreed - if the regulated part can be just the bits that could DoS a GSM network or overuse licensed spectrum, then everyone should be happy. In reality, any smartphone today lets you install applications that could DoS a network using SMS or phone calls, but this is somewhat restrained by the cost of SMSs and calls.
