Don't Do This at Work
- bostand 10y agoWell, if there is over company that needs to learn to not bribe people its these guys. Actually, they are probably not worse than anyone else, they just happen to get cut very often. They should instead make a page called Don't get caught doing this at work.
- jessriedel 10y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telia_Company#Controversies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telia_Company#Controversies > In the past TeliaSonera has been accused of indirectly supporting dictatorships, allowing them to do man-in-the-middle attacks on their citizens. This was disclosed in the Swedish TV show Uppdrag Granskning in 2012.[14] TeliaSonera responded to these allegations with: "This is happening every day in all countries and applies to all operators. We are obliged to comply with the legislation of each country."[15] > Further allegations have been presented in Swedish media and elsewhere that TeliaSonera may have illegally, through bribery, acquired licenses in Uzbekistan and Azerbaijan. As a result of internal investigations on these and other potential violations to the company's policies, several senior managers have been dismissed from the company.
- Nomentatus 10y agoThe fair competition writeup is concise, clear, and wrong. You'd think patents didn't exist from this squib. It is legal to make agreements that restrict competition if these derive from patent rights, copyrights or other IP possessed by a single party. "the essence of a patent ... is the right to exclude." But if two or more IP-holders collude to restrict competition OR raise or maintain higher prices (Apple vs Amazon) that is illegal. (IP swaps don't further restrict competition and are therefore OK.)
