...really hard to interpret. SF's response is a disappointment, in the sense that it is neither a positive go-get-em-tiger! (not that we expected that), nor a situation where negotiation is welcome, nor a clear-cut refusal. It's simply a very vague, very Swedish "njaaääääeeeej", non-confrontationalist "cover your bases" sort of answer.
It's sad to see a monopoly reach to the point where even positive forces are brushed aside on a whim. We're not going out peacefully.
On the next episode: if an enterprising business falls in a near-total monopoly, does it make a sound?
