The order seeks to juice competition in broadband by encouraging the Federal Communications Commission to reintroduce a so-called "nutrition label" for internet service providers that would give consumers more clear information about a provider's services.

It calls for the FCC to restrict early termination fees and to ban exclusivity deals that currently limit apartment buildings and other rental units to only one Internet provider.

genindføre netneutrailitets reglerne

It also calls on the FCC to restore the agency's net neutrality rules for broadband companies that would prohibit them from selectively blocking, slowing or speeding up websites.

begrænsning af konkurrencebegrænsende opkøb

It establishes an administration-wide policy to scrutinize mergers more heavily, including completed mergers. It zeroes-in on so-called "killer acquisitions" involving nascent competitors, the kind of deal critics say Facebook engaged in when it bought Instagram and WhatsApp.

It takes aim at a key Silicon Valley business model: The collection and use of large amounts of consumer data, and the incentive for tech companies with multiple lines of business to cross-promote their own services at the expense of competition.

Biden's order also calls on the Federal Trade Commission to create new rules on data collection and to bar unfair competition in online marketplaces.

right to repair

He also endorsed a principle known as "right-to-repair," calling for FTC rules that ban technology manufacturers from suing independent repair shops or hindering consumers from trying to repair their own devices.

Biden will additionally call on federal regulators to create rules to cut down on non-compete agreements and ban unnecessary occupational licensing requirements, which the White House says impedes economic mobility. The President will also encourage the FTC and the Department of Justice to strengthen antitrust guidance to prevent employers from collaborating to suppress wages or reduce benefits by sharing wage and benefit information with one another.

#1 Jeg mener principielt at regelhammeren bør bruges så lidt som muligt. Nu bliver den godt nok fundet frem og svunget lystigt.

Det kan nok forbedre situationen på kort sigt. Men på længere sigt giver det en fordel til store etablerede firmaer og skræmmer små nye konkurrenter væk pga. compliance cost / legal risk. Man skal huske at big tech elsker regulering og lobbier for det, for det giver dem en konkurrencefordel.

#2

Generelt kan regler godt ramme små opstarts virksomheder hårdere end store eksisterende virksomheder.

Men jeg tror ikke at det vil være et stort problem her.

genindføre netneutrailitets reglerne:

ISP er et markede uden små opstarts virksomheder og ingen udsigt til ændringer p.g.a. kapitalkravet

begrænsning af konkurrencebegrænsende opkøb:
begrænsning på brug af kunde data til at sælge andre produkter

er irrelevant for små opstartsvirksomheder

right to repair:

kunne ramme små opstarts virksomheder

begrænsninger af konkurrenceklausuler:

er formentligt irrelevant for små opstartsvirksomheder

så kun 1 ud af 7 kan ramme små opstartsvirksomheder mens 7 ud af 7 vil ramme de store.
