Apple isn’t considering that they are the baddies?
I suggest strong regulation of the complete BigIT and two chairs for public observers at minimum. In addition they are not allowed to enter any new market.
Why?
Because it worked well with AT&T. Results:
* UNIX
* C
* Open-Source
* Public Documentation
Sounds good? Until the Reagan administration appeared, allowed them to split up (Baby Bells), the UNIX-Wars followed, law-suits against BSD and broad incompatibility. And despite this horrible changes we still got:
* POSIX
* GNU (immediate reaction by FSF - they recognized the situation)
* Linux (which caused itself Git)
* BSD (TCP/IP)
Our information technology builds upon the regulation of AT&T. That was lucky, yes. But you need to prepare luck.
The politicians instead opted for Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook and Amazon with near to no regulation at all. Despite we learned that software immediately tends to monopolize due to Vendor Lock-in and mass-effect.
What are my benefits of a low billion fine ten years after on of this companies hurt us again? None.
Splitting up?
See again Vendor Lock-in and mass-effect.
