Cash money says there’s already a native competitor just waiting to get that money

There isn't and probably won't be. At least not one with a library even half a size to that of spotify. People will probably flock to some competition like apple music or youtube music (neither of those services, as they are not very popular, seem to have said anything about this copyright law amendment). Also a senator already pointed out that if you have a valid argentinian credit card (there's one very easy to get here), you can just register as an argentinian and pay less than a dollar instead of the seven dollars it costs here as a turnaround.

You mean the WA-traffic made a significant difference?

No, I don't mean that. Whatsapp traffic (files i don't think is included in the deal) is treated by the companies independently of other data traffic. You may not have a data plan, but still get a "whatsapp free" thingy, you can text for free via whatsapp without using data plans.

Depends on the country, in mine data plans are not that expensive (add some asterisks to that). But they include those "whatsapp free" or some streaming service traffic with no cost to get the edge over other phone companies. All of them mostly have the whatsapp free thing.

I used to live in a different country and it did make a significant difference, as @desconectado@lemm.ee points out below.

Same here (South America). You can not use it yourself but it will mostly keep you out of the loop on everything. Most of the phone companies don't charge you whatsapp message data just to make it more inescapable.

I use Arch (btw). It's not that I prefer ir over others for anything in particular, i'm just used to it by now.

(that's my personal laptop, the computers in my offices are either Debian or Ubuntu)

No country in Scandinavia uses the Euro, they're all out of the Eurozone- unless you count Finland.

It's this. You're in your instance and you see things how your instance sets them up.
