« Wouldn’t it be nice to solve all such problems in one go? »
…famously said the former Competition Commissioner Neelie Kroes in the long aftermath of the EU Microsoft case referring to interoperability issues caused by Big Tech. More than a decade after Kroes expressed that wish, the DMA moves exactly in this direction, with mandated interoperability for ancillary services *and* for so called horizontal interoperability of instant messaging (albeit limited to one-to-one communications with late openings with regard to group chats and calls), as it has been reported by the FT and Politico today. More could be done, and the devil will likely be in the technical details of the obligations, of course, but it’d be a promising beginning.
