Everything Is Changing; So Should Antitrust
- rapht 9y agoAntitrust strategy for the Internet era: a "copy-and-split" of the target into 2 companies: 1) these companies jointly own and can freely use all of the data accumulated and all of the tech developed to date (but as they jointly own it, they cannot sell/license it without the other's permission) 2) each company must choose a new name and cannot operate under the existing name 3) a few months of transitions are granted for each company to decide what their strategy will be 4) all physical assets get split evenly 5) each company get to pick 1 employee turn by turn until each has half of the workforce And may they live a long, customer friendly life.
- kfk 9y agoUhm, so what is tv? Isn't it "discovery" too? 20 years tv was the way people discovered information, just as with google now. I think the fact that few companies are now successful and "loved" by customers doesn't rule out any antitrust laws, maybe it actually calls for them even more.
