May i remind you of https://www.reuters.com/article/russia-satnav-idUSLDE7331242... ?

That was a "soft forcing" which worked. Because nowadays there is almost no phone on the market which is incapable of working with GLONASS.

Of course you can overdo this, like (at least in the past?) Brazil did to push indigenous suppliers and markets, with the effect that they don't really have them, and everything "digital" is just more expensive.

But it could work. Depends...
