The entire newsletter from *Convenience to Control* has left me perplexed between innovation and market denomination.
Balanced approach that encourages innovation while safeguarding competition is essential
While Uber's ambitions and similar moves by other tech giants promise enhanced services and convenience for consumers, they also highlight the urgent need for robust regulatory frameworks. These frameworks must protect consumer welfare and ensure open markets, preventing the consolidation of excessive power in the hands of a few digital giants
I think the essence of healthy digital ecosystem is meticulously articulated in the newsletter!
This is a very interesting analysis of Uber's expansion plans and the challenges of regulating Big Tech companies.
Your point about Uber's ambitions to become a super app and the potential anti-competitive practices are spot-on. The DCB2024 with its focus on Core Digital Services (CDS) and Systemically Significant Digital Enterprises (SSDEs) seems like a crucial step towards a balanced approach.
I especially appreciate your emphasis on both customer welfare and open market preservation. Consolidated global action is needed to prevent Big Tech from exploiting regulatory gaps.
On a lighter note, congratulations to your daughter, Aru, for her first NDTV report! It's great to see the next generation engaging with these critical issues. I'll definitely check out your three-part series on Platform and Antitrust – sounds like essential reading!
I appreciate the depth of your analysis of Uber's move to expand its services and become a super app, as well as the potential monopolistic implications this expansion brings. Your explanation of the draft Digital Competition Bill, 2024, and its focus on combating anti-competitive practices by Big Tech companies was highly informative. The identification of Core Digital Services (CDS) and Systemically Significant Digital Enterprises (SSDE) underscores the necessity for strict regulatory oversight to ensure fair competition and protect consumer welfare.
I found your insights on the international approaches to digital competition particularly enlightening, highlighting the need for a unified global strategy to prevent regulatory arbitrage by Big Tech. The mention of Facebook’s strategic hire of Sir Nick Clegg to navigate regulatory challenges exemplifies how these companies leverage their influence.
Your daughter Aru Bisht's first story for NDTV on the impact of OTT platforms on single-screen theatres was a proud and relevant addition, tying into the broader theme of Big Tech's influence on various industries.
Lastly, your reflections on Tim Wu’s works, "The Curse of Bigness" and "The Attention Merchants," provided a compelling backdrop to the ongoing discourse on economic concentration and the attention economy. It’s crucial to continually assess the power and intentions of these massive entities. Thank you for such a comprehensive and thought-provoking newsletter!
