With similar legislation in the EU, and other countries possibly following, perhaps the domino effect will force Apple to allow third party software globally. There were rumours Apple would respond to changes in Europe by only allowing side loading etc in Europe. But it seems like turning this on or off for every country/territory would cause a lot of fragmentation in the global app market.
