One almost misses those conferences on the differences between the DMA and the DMCCA. They already felt faintly like a waste of time when they were held. Now, however, we may be in a position to organize new ones on a more revealing question: which ex ante digital regime is being underused more impressively, and by what means.
As regards the DMA, the list is already rather substantial. Yet the DMCCA may prove even more striking. if the framework ends up relying on a succession of non-binding commitments, one is entitled to wonder whether the most that can be asked of Big Tech is, in effect, whatever Big Tech is willing to offer.
