But not Apple? The most valuable company in history.

    Eeeh. Apple's App Store fees can be a bit much, but all told the company doesn't have enough power on any market to warrant such a huge intervention I think. Just forcing them to make their ecosystem more open would be enough. Like how the EU wants to force them to allow 3rd party package managers on iOS.

    Luckily the EU wants much more, and already accepted regulation that will be implemented later this year to open all ecosystems up, completely. iMessage will have to provide an open API that provides the same service levels than the native client for example.

    I want to see the same happen to Apple, to many fingers in too many pies.

    Their app store, + cell phone, computer, publishing, music store, streaming service, ect ect.

    Want to see google, Microsoft, apple, and others all broken up.
