An Unprecedented Fine
There’s a big storm coming.
Tomorrow, the Commission will slap yet another stratospheric fine against Microsoft.
We’re told that Microsoft did not implement the “browser choice” remedy negotiated with the Commission in 2009.
Worst: this is apparently due to an internal communication failure.
Alfonso blogged about this a while ago (meanwhile disclosing his core musical tastes).
Because the Commission understandably wants compliance but may be reluctant to micro-monitor the implementation of settlements, the fine will likely be high.
But how high?
