Lots of good explanations and examples, but also very actionable with policy recommendations.

"­Rebalance power between service providers and consumers

Consumers should be allowed to control their digital experiences and decide how they want to use products that they own. It should be possible and practical to switch to alternative service providers, or tweak services they already use to suit their needs and preferences." 👏
