@martinielsen @Lars_O @soren_ladegaard So I got an answer from the Danish Agency of Digitisation… first they just interpret “access of records” as giving all the same mails to me that we had already exchanged… so I replied like this:
”As I wrote in my original questions, I would like to see the data (including sources) that form the basis for your decisions in this area. I have still not received these data.
This applies both to the measurements you mention below and to the basis on which you decided that it is too expensive to allow phones other than Google and Apple to access public sector apps. As well as concrete, detailed, and documented answers to the questions I asked on March 8, 2026.
I am therefore still waiting for these data.”
But they also added this:
”In relation to the current access to documents decision, the Agency for Digitisation (Digitaliseringsstyrelsen) can additionally clarify that the Dansk Online Index (DOI) was originally intended and required in the tender material as a data source for measuring market penetration. In September 2020, Dansk Online Index ceased publishing detailed statistics, making it impossible to continue using DOI for this monitoring. The Agency therefore had to find alternative methods for measuring market penetration.
The challenges with DOI led the Agency to use ongoing measurements from NemID and MitID as data sources for assessing market penetration.
At present, the Agency is in the process of implementing StatCounter as a data source and has just received the first data extracts in this regard.
It should also be noted that operating systems such as Murena /e/OS, LineageOS, and GrapheneOS generally do not provide data that reveals which operating system is being used. This makes it difficult to measure the actual prevalence of these systems. However, it is possible to measure the overall prevalence of Google Pixel phones, which have historically been the only phones capable of supporting systems like GrapheneOS. According to StatCounter, the percentage of such phones in Denmark is currently below 2%.”
As far as I can see this means they lied in their first answer… Their decision was based on counters from the existing public sector apps NemID and MitID, and the latter doesn’t give access to these phones. It’s like blocking the door for someone and then count if they are present… no, they’re not, because you blocked the door!
Now they say they use “StatCounter”, but also admit that this cannot count phones with Operating Systems such as Murena.
So they won’t give us access until we are more than 2 % of the market (if then). But they will never be able to tell… I believe that’s a perfect example of catch 22?
