Antitrust and Tech Seminar Materials

with 2 comments

A few days ago I participated at a very interesting AIJA seminar in Bruges on Antitrust and Technology. All panel discussions were great, but I’m particularly grateful to Pablo Ibañez (LSE) and Kevin Coates (DG Comp) for their participation in the panel I moderated on interoperability issues, which was truly excellent (and not because of me).
