I really wish the FTC would get back to busting up this kind of bullshit behavior instead of playing catchup. The cloud giants should be split up, just like AT&T/Bell in the 80s and Standard Oil over 100 years ago. They are bad for business, bad for the free market, and bad for everyone who isn’t getting their pockets lined.
- takinola 3y agoThe cloud business is remarkably competitive. Prices have been dropping. Innovation and new services are happening. This is exactly the type of market you want to have.
- mcmcmc 3y agoThe type of market where if you want to launch a new business the best you can hope for is to be acquired or bullied out of the market? Price is not the only indicator of a competitive market, buyers need options. Innovation is not some panacea for socioeconomic ills. It’s the kind of market that tech bros with zero empathy for anyone who isn’t like them have wet dreams about.
