EU dobiera się do Google’a →

16 kwietnia 2015 · 09:19

European Commission:

The European Commission has sent a Statement of Objections to Google alleging the company has abused its dominant position in the markets for general internet search services in the European Economic Area (EEA) by systematically favouring its own comparison shopping product in its general search results pages. The Commission’s preliminary view is that such conduct infringes EU antitrust rules because it stifles competition and harms consumers. Sending a Statement of Objections does not prejudge the outcome of the investigation.

The Commission has also formally opened a separate antitrust investigation into Google’s conduct as regards the mobile operating system Android. The investigation will focus on whether Google has entered into anti-competitive agreements or abused a possible dominant position in the field of operating systems, applications and services for smart mobile devices.

Google przegra. Dostanie karę. Zapłaci ją. Nawet tego nie zauważy. Nic się nie zmieni.

Obniżka cena w roamingu w EU od lipca 2014 →

Matt Brian:

From July, anyone travelling in any of the EU member countries with their smartphone will enjoy a few less numbers on their bill. As part of new roaming caps coming into effect next week, the European Commission has cut the price of data downloads by 55 percent. This means the most you’ll pay for a megabyte is 20 cents instead of 45. As promised by the Commission’s VP Neelie Kroes, the new price caps will also drop call charges by 21 percent to 19 cents per minute, while receiving calls will be reduced to 5 cents per minute. Text message costs are down 25 percent to 6 cents, but it’s the lower cost of data roaming that’s the banner announcement, meaning smartphone owners can safely sneak in a quick tweet or Instagram upload while they’re making their way across Europe.

Komisja Europejska chce ukarać Apple za wprowadzanie klientów w błąd →

Jennifer Baker:

„In at least 21 E.U. countries, Apple is not informing consumers correctly about the legal warranty rights they have,” Reding said at the European Consumer Summit in Brussels. „This is simply not good enough.”

Apple ewidentnie zaczyna powoli wkurzać Komisję Europejską i zupełnie im się nie dziwię. Przepisy i prawa dotyczące gwarancji, towarów niezgodnych z umową i tym podobnych są zmorą konsumentów. A może jednak warto przy okazji poprawić przepisy w tym względzie?
